SULU'S POEM

Adventure stories were my game
And so I heeded Starfleet's call
A starship pilot I became
To visit planets large and small

I drive the ship through vacuum black
Warmed briefly by the breath of star
There's Chekov here to watch my back
Scott keeps the engines up to par

McCoy in Sickbay heals our wounds
And on the bridge with cocoa eyes
Smart, sweet Uhura, hear her croon,
The voice of Starship Enterprise

I'm busy working at my shift
I navigate the sea of space
I see the Vulcan's eyebrow lift
A smile lights up the Captain's face

A wink from Pavel makes me grin
It's cute how Kirk thinks we don't see
Commander Spock and he are in
A love of bonded loyalty

Their pure affection radiates
Although they try to keep it hushed
It warms my heart to see these mates
As through the endless sky we're rushed

Their dedication to their love
Is mirrored in the way we feel
About our ship, this silver dove
We do our jobs, from crown to keel.
