Star Trek

Thanks. Hey, don't let this thread die. What's better than a bunch of poetry lionizing the Beloved Immortal Triumvirate of Trek?

I agree...so I shall try to write more....they are an amazing team.....

How about this lame limerick?

There once were three fellas in space

Kirk as a captain was really an ace

McCoy's sense of humor just couldn't be beat

And the ladies all thought that Spock was a treat

Though he was not of the human race

I told you it was a lame limerick.

It wasn't my friend. I loved it. Just been busy with the kids. Love this pic...very much.

I'm glad you love it, because it seems to be the only Kirk facepalm in existence. And I'll probably be using it again. But thanks for liking my poetry, even if it is lame.

Row, Row, Row your boat

Gently down the stream.

Ha ha -- fool'd ya

I'm a submarine.

Highly illogical, Doctor -- that a submersible craft would be mistakenly identified as a "boat", and equally that its crew would be utilising paddles on a vehicle with a working jet propulsion system.

It's a joke, you pointy eared.... You got that?

Got what, Doctor? -- I have no items currently in my possession...

>:-(

Thank you very much, for adding your little disagreement between those two. Well done.

McCoy: I know why you're not afraid to die, Spock! You're more afraid of living! Every day you stay alive is just one more day you might slip and let your human half peek out! That's it, isn't it? Insecurity. Why, you wouldn't know what to do with a genuine, warm, decent feeling!

Spock: Really, Doctor?

McCoy: I know. I'm worried about Jim too.

Not a poem, I know, but a very moving moment.

Quite true, a very moving moment....

Maybe second favorite in TOS.

You just need to sort out the rhythm, that's all.

I warned you at the beginning it was lame. For some reason when I try to write poems on purpose, a lot of the time they kinda suck. You guys might disagree, of course, but then an author is often their own harshest critic.

Maybe the reason it's so hard to find a Kirk facepalm is because Facepalm is for Fail, and Kirk seldom fails. See if you like this silly poem.

Shatner was on his computer one day

On Star Trek.com, just browsing away

He browsed TOS boards and came on this thread

He opened it up and liked what he read

But when he came to the end he was very surprised

He stopped and he blinked, not believing his eyes

He re-read the last post and he said "Oh no."

That post had been posted a whole month ago

He looked away from the screen, his hand to his head

"I just can't believe that's the end of this thread."

"A month's a long time. I'm afraid that it's dead."

"Oh dear," said he, "I don't like this at all."

"I think that I better give Nimoy a call."
