It was an uneventful day at Deep Space Nine.
And everybody thought that was fine.
But not Captain Sisko, our action-packed hero,
Who saw his excitement drop to below zero
When all that Chief O'Brian had to say:
"No anomalies or system crashes, so yay."
"What in the wormhole am I going to do," he wondered?
Strolling through the station, he bumped into Dax as he pondered.
As always, she came up with an excellent plan,
And as he departed, shouted "Thank you old man!"
What he needed was another eye, a view, a sight,
So he shuttled off into the endless night.
Through the wormhole, wide and far,
He somehow found an uncharted star.
And there! A planet, unknown to him,
Rich in water; time for a swim!
And when he dove, he saw a shape:
an alien, mouth agape!
The universal translator did it's job,
And the alien introduced himself as Bob
(at least, that's how it translated the garbling,
but Sisko wasn't worried a thing)
He got to see Bob's home and family
and was introduced to his wife Emily
After all was said and done (and a lot of oh's and ah's)
He even saved Bob's kid from and angry fish's claws!
After one final regional roam,
It was finally time to go home.
After the flight back to the station,
He landed with a smile at his destination.
As he sat in his office and watched outside,
He couldn't help but feel some pride:
All he needed in the end,
Was just a new friend.
Something like that :-)
