The Star Trek Poetry Corner





I didn't know where else to put this stuff, so I arbitrarily stuck it here. If you would like to submit one of your own Star Trek poems, submit it to me at poet925@geocities.com.






ODE TO SPOT, by Data, from the ST:TNG episode "Schisms"

Felis catus is your taxinomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadraped, carniverous by nature.
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses,
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued, by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications,
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection,
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate
affection.

A tail is quite essential, for your acrobatic talents.
You would not be so agile, if you lacked its counterbalance,
and when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate, the state of your emotion.

Oh Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display,
connote a fairly well developed cognitive array,
and though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you, a true, and valued, friend.






ODE TO LEONARD NIMOY, by Fan Boy, transcription from the Warner Bros. cartoon "Freakazoid"

Leonard Nimoy, Leonard Nimoy
Dear Mister Spock, oh golly gee boy
It sure would make me smile and
laugh
If I could have your autograph
If I don't get it, I'll be blue
But then I know what I will
do
I'll call you up on the telephone
And bother you when you're at home
You hang up, the line
goes dead
But then a new idea pops in my head
I'll visit you right where you live
I'll ring on
the doorbell and ask if you'll give
That autograph I've been waiting for
You give it to me, and
so much more

(BOOM!)

Oh thank you, thank you, Mister Spock
Now please call Bones; I need a doc.
