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
