If Dr Seuss Wrote for Star Trek

If Dr Seuss wrote for Star Trek, where would we be? Have a read for yourself so you can see... 8-)

	Picard:     Sigma Indri, that's the star,
        	    So, Data, please, how far? How far?
 
	Data:       Our ship can get there very fast,
        	    But still the trip will last and last;
	            We'll have two days til we arrive,
        	    But can the Indrans there survive?
 
	Picard:     LaForge, please give us factor nine.
 
	LaForge:    But, sir, the engines are offline!
 
	Picard:     Offline!  But why?  I want to go!
        	    Please make it so, please make it so!
 
	Riker:      But sir, if Geordi says we can't,
        	    We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't,
	            The danger here is far too great!
 
	Picard:     But surely we must not be late!
 
	Troi:       I'm sensing anger and great ire.
 
	Computer:   Alert!  Alert!  The ship's on fire!
 
	Picard:     The ship's on fire?  How could this be?
        	    Who lit the fire?
 
	Riker:      Not me.
 
	Worf:       Not me.
 
	Picard:     Computer, how long until we die?
 
	Computer:   Eight minutes left to say "goodbye".
 
	Data:       May I suggest a course to take?
        	    We could, I think, quite safely make,
	            Extinguishers from tractor beams,
        	    And stop the fire, or so it seems...
 
	Geordi:     Hurray!  Hurray!  You've saved the day!
        	    Again I say, Hurray! Hurray!
 
	Picard:     Mr. Data, thank you much.
        	    You've saved our lives, our ship, and such.
 
	Troi:       We still must save the Indran planet --
 
	Data:       Which (by the way) is made of granite...
 
	Picard:     Enough, you android. Please desist.
        	    We understand -- we get your gist.
	            But can we get our ship to go?
        	    Please, make it so, PLEASE make it so.
 
	Geordi:     There's sabotage among the wires,
        	    And that's what started all the fires.
 
	Riker:      We have a saboteur?  Oh, no!
        	    We need to go!  We need to go!
 
	Troi:       We must seek out the traitor spy,
        	    And lock him up and ask him, "why?"
 
	Worf:       Ask him, "why?"  How sentimental.
        	    I say give him problems dental.
 
	Troi:       Are any Romulan ships around?
        	    Have scanners said that they've been found?
	            Or is it Borg or some new threat,
        	    We haven't even heard of yet?
	            I sense no malice in this crew.
        	    Now what are we supposed to do?
 
	Crusher:    Captain, please, the Indrans need us.
        	    They cry out, "Help us, clothe us, feed us!"
	            I can't just sit and let them die!
        	    A doctor MUST attempt -- MUST try!
 
	Picard:     Doctor, please, we'll get there soon.
 
	Crusher:    They may be dead by Tuesday noon.
 
 
	** COMMERCIAL BREAK, COMMERCIAL BREAK
	   HOW LONG WILL THESE DUMB ADS TAKE? **
 
 
	Worf:       The saboteur is in the brig.
        	    He's very strong and very big.
	            I had my phaser set on stun --
        	    A zzzip!  A zzzap!  Another one!
	            He would not budge, he would not fall,
        	    He would not stun, no, not at all!
	            He changed into a stranger form,
        	    All soft and purple, round and warm.
 
	Picard:     Did you see this, Mr. Worf?
        	    Did you see this creature morph?
 
	Worf:       I did and then I beat him fairly.
        	    Hit him on the jaw -- quite squarely.
 
	Riker:      My commendations, Klingon friend!
            	    Our troubles now are at an end!
 
	Crusher:    Now let's get our ship to fly,
        	    And orbit yonder Indran sky!
 
	Picard:     LaForge, please tell me we can go...?
 
	Geordi:	    Yes, sir, we can.
 
	Picard:     Then make it so!
