Asterisk Wars

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away
Asterisk Wars
A Fresh Lyric.

The Scribble Alliance fight against the tyranny
of the New Literary Galactic Umpire.

The Umpire has developed new punctuation
to annihilate the Scribblers once and for all
with no adjective follow up citation,
though the Scribblers struck the first blow
by presenting their unfinished poems
with their errors and faults on show,
So continues the cosmic writing battle
exchanging line by line
in this perpetual stream of verbal prattle,
yet the Umpire feature Daft Grader
who is strong in the verse
and a clear rhetoric crusader.
Legends speak of one to bring quality
to the verse and galaxy
creating some much needed oral jollity,
before the Umpire's Kill Mark
scrutinises everything
making it tediously dark.
It all lies in the hands of a young poet
and an overly smug smuggler
although they currently do not know it,
aided by an ex knight of fiction
they will aim to remove the Umpire
in more than just an eviction.
