Star Trek officer Mr. Spock
simply couldn't find his sock
which he had just overlooked
but don't tell Bones Spock's goose was cooked!...

Live long and prosper*
In spite of your death desire;
Find the releasing pit,
Empty your anguish into it.

"May the Force be with you!" Spock said
Leaving poor Jan shaking her head
For Bones does not care
That fills Jan with air
Since Kirk logs, "Warp Speed Launch" instead...

Spaghetti

The meat, 
the cheese,
the sauce.

The smiles,
the laughs,
the wine.

The music, 
the song, 
the moment... 

The vow of forever!

Then...

You and I, 
and the garlic bread!

Whilst watching Star Trek with Captain Picard
They were fighting cyborgs in their universe marred
The Borg fly their cube spaceships  and look to destroy
Federation Starships that against them deploy
One thing that puzzles me with the Borg
Do they have toilets especially designed for cyborgs?

Jean-Luc Picard cant replace James T. Kirk

                       with his Earl Grey tea and sinister smirk,

he lacks Jim's youthful physique,

                       that made women's knees go weak,

and acts more like a Shakespearean jerk.

I'd been speed-watching all past Star Trek series. So of course this week I dreamed I was visited by Q of the Q Continuum and he would grant me one wish. In my waking world I'm sure I'd've asked for something greedy if not for something sappy like peace between all people. But in my dream, without missing a beat, I wished Molly Ivins was still alive....

Shatner's Star Trek: a true break-out show
Well, except for the red shirts, you know?
With their food replicators,
Universal translators,
To infinitives, they'd boldly go.

The vacuum 
between the stars
didn't care.
Much of it
died silently.
There were no tears.
The spaces
met each other
by chance. Strangers
rubbed together
to become families
without benefit
of wisdom.
We traveled
with our crew
of coincidental friends.
We almost cared,
but not quite.
We were tied together
by rules we learned
late. 
With this crew
we imagined
a universe of life....

Five TV sets mounted on the wall
Constant movement 
All kinds of colors
Muppets, insurance commercial,
Epidemiologist, COVID 19 stats,
Star Trek, crime shows, opera singer
Breaking news, Charlie Brown, 
A community garden,  medical ads,
Ads for hand sanitizer, smiling child,
Old lady, ad for I phone, horses
I have no idea how anyone can do this all day
I watch in disbelief, seeing nothing worthwhile...

He claims not to be a geek,
Although it has been heard,
That he’s in the science clique.

He denies that he’s a nerd,
But if you quickly check,
His Sci-Fi interest is inferred.

He says he doesn’t like “Star Trek”,
But if you block the TV set,
He’ll often crane his neck.

He says he’s not a dweeb and yet,
Ask him about his PhD,
He’ll know the answer you can bet.

If he’d stop denying it he’d see,
I’m just as big a geek as he!...

If Lucille Ball had lived, she'd be one hundred today.
Many people were devastated when she passed away.
She and Desi Arnaz started a studio called Desilu.
They produced Star Trek and several other shows too.

It turns out that Mrs. Ball was a Leo like me.
She was a big fan of Three's Company.
When she starred in those sitcoms, she had much appeal.
Happy one hundredth birthday, Lucille.

I’ve watched enough Star Trek
To know that you weirdos
Need to take me to your leader
Captain Kirk would not negotiate 
With such rumbustious riff raff
You’re trying my patience
I’ll continue to be polite with you
But don’t push your luck
Now take me to your leader 
And get those silly water pistols
Out of my face

The furniture was rearranged,
to make sure there was space,
and suddenly the radiogram,
had moved to second place.

Now we would have Thunderbirds,
Star Trek and man on the moon,
Tomorrow’s World had landed,
right there in the living room.

And no-one in the family,
could really disagree,
with the magic or excitement,
of our black and white TV.

There was a note of caution though,
when mum to our surprise,
said, “don’t complain to me,
if you end up with square eyes…”.

Wasn't that the name of a rock band?
Or perhaps something from Star Trek? 
The world was not created in 7 days
  However, after Adam and Eve ate the deadly 
apple the world changed
The metaphor is excellent - The Bible is a poetry book 
The light from the past still has relevance
Even if we are now in the computer age
The old verities still have power
The world exists 
So do we
You can scoff at  existence 
Find it a kind of cosmic joke
But it has been said before 
Readers - This is not our fate...
