Star Bound

While traveling at warp speed on the Enterprise Captain Kirk came across a pleasant surprise He came upon the planet Poetron Where the written word was spawned So Scottie beamed him down To see what he could find The planet had a reddish brown surface, and with letters it was mined The captain stepped on a vowel And immediately he started to rhyme But as he began to spell The letters turned into slime And Kirk began to sink into a soupy grime But Scottie managed to beam him up in time And the captain became a poet in his prime Uhuru seemed to like his poetic lines But Spock was not so inclined And Bones thought he had lost his mind But everything turned out fine Then at warp speed he headed off to adventures new To a strange planet called Haiku Joseph May Theme: Kirk becomes a poet
