The Three RobKings

(with due respect to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Three roles that started the journey of this white hot superstar:
Cedric Diggory, Salvador Dali and Edward Cullen;
Though there were others like Geisher, Toby, Art, Daniel…but by far,
Those three Robparts made a supernova of Robert Thomas Pattinson.

Each of the characters gave Rob a wonderful opportunity
To demonstrate the depth and richness of his thespian craft;
They began and maintained the brilliant trajectory
Of a career too coruscating and talented for anyone to shaft.

Three roles opening Hollywood doors with golden keys,
Brave interpretations for one of such green and tender years,
Expanding his repertoire and escalating actor fees,
Ameliorating earlier penurious anxieties and fears.

And so our Rob seems assured of maintaining a fabulous career
In film and music, should he so choose to continue on this way,
And for those of us who adore and appreciate him will cheer
As we get to enjoy his many guises, day after fortunate day.

Yet there are menaces that dog his every step and movement,
Invade and assault his confidence and privacy,
He has never the luxury of a quiet or intimate moment
Without fangirl screams or clicking flashes of the paparazzi…

The Three RobKings that were Cedric and Salvador and Edward Cullen
Are not immune to the murderous Hollywood Herods of the traditional tale,
Can they teach Rob some things that can thwart and turn
The Hollywood poisonous lot and leave him well and hale?

Cedric Diggory was noble and kind, a wizard who left no friend behind,
Salvador Dali was eccentric, and nurtured his own unique talent and style,
Edward Cullen was supersensitive, strong and quick of mind,
All three knew pain but kept their faith in themselves all the while;

Might Robert learn Cedric’s loyalty and keep his good friends close,
Cultivate Dali’s tenacity and keep his own counsel and truth always,
Be like Edward and have the highest fidelity to the loves he chose,
And remain true to himself at all times and in all ways…

Maybe then Hollywood Herods will fail to spoil the newborn star,
And Rob escape the worst of consequences of his own popularity,
Gossip, drugs, addictions and malice will not hurt or mar
His youth-bright innocence, British optimism or artistic integrity.

Three roles and three gifts to bear for Rob, if he be intelligent and wise:
Loyalty, Tenacity and Fidelity through thick and thin, better or worse;
And Love…always Love to see through mendacity and artifice
And then our Rob will survive and transcend the Hollywood curse.

When the Three Kings rode through Bethlehem of old
And left gifts of frankincense and myrrh and gold,
They were so grateful that they got to finally behold
The promised son of God, holy babe so long foretold…

So we remember at this happy time of celebrating Christmas
Our good luck to have the good fortune and joy
Of witnessing the trajectory that is Robert Thomas –
Our own beloved babe and golden beautiful boy!

And all us moo-cows, baa-sheep, meh-goats and roar-cougars,
Pattinangels and Robcherubs gathering round his manger,
Are ever ready to down tools and fit to kick ass
To keep our Rob-man-child out of harm and danger!

This young man will one day be King of the Hill,
We can already see the truth in that statement,
His crazy talents will many promises fulfill
And ensure uber success for young Robert, Monsieur Pattinson…

Well might his mother be in awe and bow her head
To pray for her beloved and most adored son,
There are good times and bad ahead
He needs all his family and friends, each and every one!

The Three Kings followed the Star to Bethlehem city,
And found their promised Saviour God,
We follow the Robstar and assemble in our cyber sorority
To celebrate and love our precious precocious Rob!
