Poem
My training at Starfleet was over, they were now deploying me I was over the moon when they called; I was full of glee I entered the transporter room where I'd dematerialize And within seconds I was aboard, the Starship Enterprise. I was an expert on Klingonese; they needed me for interpretation Their council leaders on Kronos wanted to join the federation I unpacked all my bags and then put my things in storage Then a message came through asking me to report to the bridge. I caught the fast turbo lift that would take me up there And the first person that I saw was Captain Kirk in his chair He stood up to welcome me and to introduce me to the crew Mr Spock from Vulcan, Ensign Checkov and Mr Sulu. He then told me to sit down by the helmsman Mr Sulu Who would show me the ropes and tell me what to do I learnt very fast but there was an awful lot to take in When I went off duty and lay down, I felt my head spin. The next day I was introduced to the rest of the crew Doctor 'Bones' McCoy, Mr Scott and Lieutenant Uhuru I felt a bit out of place but they all put me at ease And I was soon up and running and it became a breeze. We were travelling at warp speed for the most part of our journey And soon we'd make contact and they were relying on me All my leisure time was spent studying, Klingon language books I practised aggressive facial expressions, that brought me strange looks. I went to the galley to advise them on what food to prepare Along with blood wine and bregut lung meat that was raw and rare Then I got a call from the bridge to come up right away And when I got there, on the monitor were three Klingon birds of prey. The Captain opened hailing frequencies then I stood up to speak A senior klingon from the high council introduced himself as Jal' Zeek In an aggressive manner I gave him, a welcoming greeting And invited him on board ship for our very first meeting. He was beamed aboard with advisors and to help lighten the mood Was escorted to the galley, for blood wine and some food For Spock and the captain I translated, everything that they had to say And relayed the Klingons responses, things were certainly going our way. After an exhausting five days, the meetings came to an end The klingons no longer the aggressor, more like a trusted friend The Federation and the Klingon empire had agreed a peace treaty Captain Kirk was full of praise and said it was all down to me. We were invited down to the surface for a trade deal to discuss It went well trade was agreed that would benefit them and us We beamed up and left Klingon orbit and were soon on our way And I was looking forward to some shore leave back home in Monterey. Written stardate 5-2-20-21.
