Sonnet inspired by the Mandolorian

The Child is locked within that room, alack!
Too high to fly and the doors are far too thick
Perhaps this console I can disarm or hack
O Fate! Thou play'st upon me yet another trick.
To enter I must show this Droid my face
A thing most vile, against my holy creed.
Methinks I hear The Armorer's voice 'cross space:
"This is the way of Mandalore, take heed."
This is MY WAY, MY QUEST, MY SACRIFICE
Behold my face, thou cold and lifeless sentry.
A few seconds shame should thee suffice
Open the gate! Let me have present entry!

Strange, up to now, my face hath been my mystery
My Grogu's life is far more dear to me.
