Trek Lit Limericks

[Dayton Ward]

^ Maybe we should team up, and use our powers for good rather than evil. Or, should that be evil, rather than good? I always confuse the two.

Anyway,


One night last summer at the Shore Leave bar

 

[JAG]

One night last summer at the Shore Leave bar
The authors were searching near and far.

 

[TGTheodore]

One night last summer at the Shore Leave bar
The authors were searching near and far.
When along came a newbie
Who was much too young to be
A drinker quite up to their par.


The last time I went to a pitch

 

[Rat Boy]

The last time I went to a pitch

They suggested that Seven develop an itch

 

[PaulSimpson]

The last time I went to a pitch
They suggested that Seven develop an itch
They wanted her implants

 

[Andy Mangels]

a new one, which could be tricky for rhymes...

Rick Berman was found in a dumpster

 

[TGTheodore]

Rick Berman was found in a dumpster
Dressed like an out-of-work frumpster

 

[William Leisner]

Rick Berman was found in a dumpster
Dressed like an out-of-work frumpster
He took a slug from his bottle

 

[PaulSimpson]

Rick Berman was found in a dumpster
Dressed like an out-of-work frumpster
He took a slug from his bottle
And tried not to throttle

 

[JustKate]

Rick Berman was found in a dumpster
Dressed like an out-of-work frumpster
He took a slug from his bottle
And tried not to throttle
His "room" mate, Herman Munster.

(Close enough rhyme or no? I'll leave the decision up to the group.)

 

[David Mack]

Rick Berman was found in a dumpster
Dressed like an out-of-work frumpster
He took a slug from his bottle
And tried not to throttle
Brannon Braga (dressed as a Munster)

ETA: ^ Great minds think almost alike (and so do ours)

 

[JustKate]

Ooh, better!

 

[JustKate]

Are you telling me, David, that we came up with "Munster" independently? That's...that's...a little scary. Or something.

 

[David Mack]

There aren't that many rhymes with "Dumpster" (which should have a capitalized D, as it is a trademark); I think Ted was reaching to come up with "frumpster." Applying consonants, all I could find to work with was "Munster." Though in retrospect, I suppose "punster" and "Donald Trumpster" might have been options.

 

[JustKate]

I originally - I blush to say - came up with "bump, sir." I know. I hang my head in shame.

Now, now ... I allowed for Ogden Nash rhyming in the initial post.

I was fully expecting "humpster" as the final rhyme.



There once was an android from Omicron Theta
Who preferred VHS over Beta

 

[Dayton Ward]

There once was an android from Omicron Theta
Who preferred VHS over Beta
When D-V-D finally came along

 

[Trent Roman]

There once was an android from Omicron Theta
Who preferred VHS over Beta
When D-V-D finally came along
He broke out into song

 

[TGTheodore]

There once was an android from Omicron Theta
Who preferred VHS over Beta
When D-V-D finally came along
He broke out into song
Even though he saw wrinkles on Data.
