Olson the Red Shirt: A Poem

[Peach Wookiee]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a poem that I wrote while watching nuTrek last night...

Olson was a red shirt.
Olson, thus, was dead.
If you are on Star Trek,
Please do not wear red.

Nice bit of poetry you have there and it does capture the spirit of the term redshirt nicely.

Thank you. I know it's not great, but it just came to me.

it begs to be set to music - like a child's rhyme you could do hand motions to or fall down at the end.

With a little lyrical tweaking, it would go well with Ring around the Rosies.
