Starfish Enterprise: Assimilation



Nylon admiral really quite admirable   
sails briny galaxies surfs bluest sea. 
Nylon admiral really quite admirable,   
ex-electronic castaway, now PC. 

Sails on his gigabytes’ into the starry night   
seemingly nonchalant but always on guard,   
to save him from his personal hell relies on his   
personnel, step forward please  Jean-Luc Pil-Chard 

Jean-Luc Pil-Chard the master of his bridge and crew,   
earthy and unearthly the stuff of female  dreams.   
Jean-Luc Pil-Chard the master of his bridge and crew,   
seemingly nonchalant but naught is what it seems.  

Starfish Enterprise sails briny blue galaxies
pursued by Borg Cube how Kafkaesque. 
Starfish Enterprise pursued by Borg Cube,
Pil –Chard assimilated how grotesque

Cyborg sea-dog relishes his tasty dish: 
Starfish Enterprise served in sea salt pie.  
Cyborg sea-dog relishes his tasty dish:   
Pil-Chard assimilated, me oh my!

Inspired by Izzy at Real Toads who has us using lines from Future Sailors and for Thom at Three Word Wednesday who has us using Earthy Grotesque and Nonchalant -Thanks Izzy and Thom!

I love the word play here and the originality :)

What excellent parody of the whole Star Trek thing - and with the jaunty rhythm of a sea shanty too.

Grandmother Mary said...

As an old star trek and Jean Luke fan, I enjoyed this morphing of it into the sea focused prompt.

Fabulous. I love the rhythm and rhymes, and of course the "Starfish Enterprise"!
This is very, very well done.

What a delight for your readers to have you play with us in this way.

Excellent! Of course anything that starts with the Mighty Boosh is bound to be entertaining. This totally fits.

Even more exciting when read aloud!
