Travel Light
On the starship Enterprise,
with Captain Kirk and Spock by my side,
all decided to go for a fast ride,
teleporting us back because Bones had died,
But before we went we let Spock do the cremation,
since he had a very good imagination,
flying as close as we could to the sun,
Bones corpse was hung out on a ladder rung,
This was in his will the way he wanted it,
that way we'd travel light back to his home planet,
traveling back with just his ashes in a space urn,
all of us having a tan from the sunburn,
We wore our funeral clothes on the way,
and brought a change of clothing for just one day,
and keeping our dental hygiene routine up,
brought along our handy space toothbrush,
It was so sad to say good-bye to Bones,
but his family was awful glad we brought him home,
he was our doc on the Enterprise for so long,
we'd sure miss him and his off-key songs!
We decided to go back to the ship the next day,
just the two of us and an earthly paper that we saved,
Spock staying behind to go to a doctor college,
while we teleported back racking up some more space mileage.
