Trekkin' the System

On our way to 

Mercury

with Captain James T. 

Kirk, you re-
alize," We trek where 

no one's trekk'd before."

On our way to 

Venus,

we quiz Spock, "Hey! Just be-

tween us,

did you recollect to 

check the pod bay door...?

On our way to 

Saturn

we drop by Pan's* habi-

tat, earn-

ing a billion frequent 

flier miles en route.

     * One of Saturn's several moons

On our way to 

Uranus

with Troi, you order 

her 'n' us,

to power wash and 

press each pressure suit.

On our way to 

Mars,

while "Bones" unpacks his spec'men 

jars,

we hear his, "Dammit, I'm a 

doctor, not a bellboy."

On our way to 

Neptune,

though La Forge thinks you're in-

ept, un-

animous opinion 

(nearly) dubs you Hellboy.

On our way to 

Pluto,

should Montgom'ry Scott fall 

mute...? Oh,

yeah! Just beam us up but 

lose that Glasgow Burr! 

On our way to 

Jupiter

Uhura claims the 

croup put her

in sick bay all last 

week. The cause...? Obscure.

To Earth we 

now must go.

Jean-Luc Picard says, 

"Make it so!"

But we must not ignore the 

Moon as we fly by:

the Moon, whereon's the 

Monolith,

that kitsch from Kubrick's 

sci-fi myth.

(It's Space: we loathe the 

sci...but love the fi.)
