Worf was born Klingon
fights to prove it every day
Likes to drink prune juice
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
