“FOR A GOOD TIME….TRY SEVEN OF NINE”

For STAR TREK, fifty years old,

Not just alien women were bold…

Seven-of-Nine

Embarrassingly fine,

Had a character starting out cold.

–

Would an aspiring poet confess

As to which his fave actress…

Doctor Crusher

(You didn’t dare hush her)

Was high on his list, no less.

–

Then look a Catherine Janeway,

A strong woman Captain in play…

When Tom Paris berzerked

By some magic quirk,

You’d be who took her away!

–

Would I date a Beta-Zed?

Would she put up with what’s in my head?

Her “Imzadi”

Fits her to a “T”,

But Worf has a chance, it’s said!
