ONCE YOU BECOME A STAR TREKKER

                                  Inspired by 

'If once you have slept on an island' by Rachel Field

Once you become a Star Trekker
You'll never be quite the same;
You may look as you looked
Before you were hooked
And. go by the same old name -

But while you work in your office or shop
Your mind will hear a familiar refrain;
You'll see the Enterprise in flight - 
A beautiful sight -
And you'll want to see an episode again.

You'll long to hear McCoy's Southern drawl
And our Vulcan's rapier wit.
You'll laugh into a stupor
When you watch the blooper
And you hear Shatner say "Oh, ****!"

Because once you become a Star Trekker
It becomes more than a TV show;
It's the dream of a world
In the future unfurled
That stays with you wherever you go.
