Things Captain Picard Didn'T Dare Say

Things Captain Picard Didn’t Dare Say

By Elton Camp

Commander Richer, quit pretending you care
I know full well all you really want is my chair

Counselor Troi, I’ll throw you in the brig for real
If you ask again how what I do makes me feel

Wesley Crusher saved the Federation another time
But he still only an egotistical little ball of slime

Mr. Data, a human you will never come to be
That you’re nothing but a robot is plain to me

Guynan, if you actually are experienced and wise
Why are you still dispensing out the bar supplies?

Mr. Worf, since you think this is a good day to die
Stepping out into space, I wish that you would try

The Prime Directive I’ll violate whenever I want
Because Starfleet Command I just love to taunt

Locutus of Borg you can bet I will always be
I will finally betray the Federation—wait & see

Hello Nikola, Thanks for your kind comment. This poem entirely depends on the reader knowing about Star Trek. Otherwise, it would make no sense. Elton

Good morning, Thanks for reading and commenting. I was a bit hesitant to post this one here as the more intellectual types this site attracts might not, like me, have watched Star Trek. But then, I have to admit that I read the comics page each day. Elton
