Captain Kirk And His Women

by BeasPeas

'Way Out There' ~ #4-396-B-C

Captain Jim Kirk receives instructions from Starfleet Command.
He's miffed because his new orders read like a reprimand.
     Message: Keep your shirt on, don't get romantic or naughty.
       Beam down. Take Mr. Spock. Be sure to leave behind Scottie.

With Uhura at the screen, the ship steady as she goes,
Scottie beams down Kirk and Spock on a mission no one knows.

     Mr. Spock's orders: Restrain Kirk with logical wisdom,
       liberating the captain's libido from strange women.
       Jim Kirk follows his heart with alien ladies who tempt,
       tending to lose focus on mission's purpose, which pre-empts.
       Females flirt with the captain so, Mr. Spock, watch over,
       assuring Jim sticks to business and eyes don't rover.

So just like a sailor of old, captain dallies in port,
prey to creatures with odd DNA with whom he cavorts.
Though Kirk yearns for the dancer who eats veggies and turns green,
captain, instead, falls into bed to linger with the queen.
Can the universe be saved when he tastes her lips' sweet kiss?
Can Enterprise wait, hover in space, while Jim's lost in his bliss?

     Mr. Scott's orders: Beam up captain from love's vile clutch, your chore,
       so crew can explore galaxies where none dared go before.
