^ Wow. Resorting to Dutch. Fine work indeed.

If I feel I lack the preparation
For the novels' full association,
Must I read through them all,
Some segment (large or small),
Or just Articles of the Federation?

 

[David R. George III]

^ Very nice, Edgar!

 

[TheAlmanac]

^ Very nice, Edgar!

Thanks!

Once limericks are on my mind, they start to form there automatically...

Having said that, I'll also take Trek limerick requests.

Back to the game, though:

Paid a whole peseta
And learned very little, the miser

The limerick, poor thing, it was dead
Its katra had gone on ahead.
I do like to rhyme
When I have the time,
But I wanna write haiku instead.

 

[Dayton Ward]

Nah. Not Haiku.

Irish drinking song!

Ohhhhhhhhh, aye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye!

There was a young man named Jim Kirk
Who travelled out from a farm
He wanted to join the Academy
With the ladies, he held a strong charm.

On his first trip into outer space
He served with a captain named Pike
By the end of this first adventure
He told the cap to take a hike!

Ohhhhhhhhh, aye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye-dee-dye!

There was a young woman from Trill
Whose spots will give you a thrill

There was a young woman from Trill
Whose spots will give you a thrill
Sadly, unlike most
This one couldn't boast

There was a young woman from Trill
Whose spots will give you a thrill
Sadly, unlike most
This one couldn't boast
That her symbiont gave her a chill.

Sorry - not my best work. But I had accidentally posted something completely non-germane here and I had to work fast to get rid of it!

Slightly OT (but not as much as the preceding post!) but for Trek humor check out

ETA: the brackets refer to JustKate's previous version... Anyone else here reminded of Bernice Summerfield's Diaries?

Slightly OT (but not as much as the preceding post!)

And I didn't work fast enough.

To atone for my previous posting goof, and in honor of Paul's fab link, I'll start the next limerick:
A swashbuckling doctor named Bones

A swashbuckling doctor named Bones
Teamed up with a sailor named Phones




[cross-series limericks now, for non-Gerry Anderson fans]

 

[David Mack]

A swashbuckling doctor named Bones
Teamed up with a sailor named Phones
They both called in sick

 

[Mistral]

A swashbuckling doctor named Bones
Teamed up with a sailor named Phones
They both called in sick
With fever from a tick

 

[KimMH]

A swashbuckling Doctor named Bones
Teamed up with a sailor named Phones
They both called in sick
With fever from a tick
Though all knew it was raging hormones!



how about this:

A starfleet ensign from Nantucket
set forth to Risa in a bucket
