Trek Lit Limericks

[Mistral]

There once was a literary coterie of nerds
Who loved Trek novels but not David R. George the Third's
They liked his stories
Of Starfleet glories
But hated that it took him four hundred thousand words

(The closet drummer in me is wincing....)

 

[TGTheodore]

Yet I STILL find this all pretty funny.

One mo' time ...


A hooker from Alpha Centauri

 

[David R. George III]

A hooker from Alpha Centauri
Beamed up to the starship Missouri

 

[Dayton Ward]

A hooker from Alpha Centauri
Beamed up to the starship Missouri
Her liaison with the X.O.

 

[David R. George III]

A hooker from Alpha Centauri
Beamed up to the starship Missouri.
Her liaison with the X.O.
Left both his testicles aglow.
She awaits a verdict from the jury.

There once was a Starfleet captain from Venus




(Come on, somebody had to do it....)

 

[Dayton Ward]

There once was a Starfleet captain from Venus
Descended from a most interesting genus

 

[TheAlmanac]

There once was a Starfleet captain from Venus
Descended from a most interesting genus.
His organs were arranged

 

[TGTheodore]

There once was a Starfleet captain from Venus
Descended from a most interesting genus.
His organs were arranged
So at arousal he changed

 

[David R. George III]

There once was a Starfleet captain from Venus
Descended from a most interesting genus.
His organs were arranged
So at arousal he changed:
His parts had to be reset by a machinist.

DRG3 wins this thread. Like three times.

 

[TGTheodore]

Well ... so much for rules 1, 2 & 3 ...

 

[David R. George III]

^ Tsk, tsk...a little tolerance...I mean, you gotta give a little love to rhyming machinist with Venus and genus, if for no other reason than the avoidance of the obvious.

 

[Trent Roman]

There once was a board of fools
Who couldn't follow the rules
So TG got mad
And wrote on his pad
To ne'er again work with these rubes

(In jest, of course )

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

 

[David R. George III]

Fools...rules...rubes....

Trent, well done. You always slay me.

In keeping with this thread's subject line, at least:

Janeway bought it in Before Dishonor,
To the outrage of many a fawner.
When they cried as a pack,
"You must now bring her back!"
Editors replied, "Nope, she's a goner."

Very nicely done!

How's this for a start:

There once was a doctor who could dance,

Very nicely done!

Thanks!

I should hasten to note that, technically, I have been following the original Rules 1-4. It's actually just easier for me to write the whole thing at once.

For whatever reason(s), I have a knack for coming up with limericks on the fly, so I could probably do one on any random Trek topic...

Having said that, anyone can do it, really. In order not to get stepped on in terms of the rules, though, it's a good idea to review how to write a limerick--especially the anapaestic meter, which often trips people up.

 

[Dayton Ward]

You know, I've seen enough truck-stop restroom walls in my day. I know how to write a frikkin' limerick

Taking the baton from elaithin:

There once was a doctor who could dance,
Her movements put her fans in a trance.
