Homage
An homage to Captain/Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott aka James Doohan
“I dannae is she can take any more, Captain!” Scotty
The Miracle Worker
The ship is his baby
Wouldn’t change it for a lady
The chief engineer
Of the starship
Not one gear
He isn’t familiar with
He’s got the gift
It’s not a myth
I’m sure you can agree
With the shipmates and me
He’s no jerker
But a true miracle worker
An homage to Captain Kathryn Janeway
“Ma’am is acceptable in a crunch, but I prefer Captain” Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager
Captain, My Captain
Hair in a bun
Phaser on stun
Cool on the outside
Passionate on the inside
Charging off to battle
Borg, Hirogen, Kazon no matter
The enemy
She can be a frenemy
To get the job done
So pick up your gun
And follow her to hell and back
Pick up the slack
In your action be fair and square
And avoid the death glare
Both fierce and delightful
Quite a handfull
Full of action
She is our Captain

Me and My Shadow
It was nineteen eighty-five
When I hitched a ride
Ever since that time
We have been tied
Like sugar and spice
Abbott and Costello
And what have you
I am still quite amazed
And feeling totally graced
That someone would stare at my face
For thirty odd years straight
So thanks for all this time, sweetheart
Lets try to make it to the next part
And add another thirty to the cart
After all the most important thing
Which makes you want to sing
It’s good to have that one person
Who will support you without a reason
No matter how serious
Or delirious
Life gets
I will bet
You will still be the one
Who I can rely on
To go absolutely
And completely
Bonkers with
Ain’t that a hit!
An homage to Dame Angela Lansbury
“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury
Blue Eyes is back
She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more
An homage to Jessica Fletcher
“Who Killed J.B. Fletcher?”
Murder She Wrote
The former school marm
With lots of charm
A writer of mystery
A worthy opponent of Christie
Is she just, having some fun
Or hitting a homerun
Being quite the detective
With a mind most selective
Solving crimes most foul
Not throwing in the towel
Until justice is served
To those whom deserved
Be that in the town in Main
Or on an excursion to Spain
She will always win
Before the episode comes to a fin
“Make it so!” Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Tea Time!
Tea, hot, with a twist of lemon
Maybe enjoyed even in Bremen
The delightful aroma
Can lull you to a coma
In company or solitude
It is a prelude
To a life’s passion
A sweet sensation
When into the dark liquid dipping
Whether gulping or sipping
Enjoy the moment of pure bliss
For who could resist
Tea time

A Very Merry Birthday To You, Sir Pat
Totally charming
Maybe even utterly harming
When you make us laugh
And make us cry
With a voice like that
Sir Pat in a hat
Canny as a cat
Who could resist
Of being kissed
By a great fellow
You’re hell of’
An actor, a Captain and a King
And even able to sing
Wishing you a merry, happy and utterly great Birthday
And as the cliche goes, if I may
Live Long And Prosper
Oh, Captain of Captains!
In Memoriam Omar Sharif 1932-2015
“I can’t say I gave up totally my passion for women, but almost” Omar Sharif
Homage to Omar Sharif
Lawrence of Arabia
That might have made you
Aware to the rest of us
Leaving the world nonplussed
A star among the best of them
Truly, a precious gem
I still remember when I was eight
Dressed like the first mate
Watching the adventures of Captain Nemo
The television series most primo
Many a unforgettable roles you played
The memory of which will not fade
Rest in peace
Omar Sharif
In Memoriam Roger Rees 1944-2015
“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again” Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby
Homage to Roger Rees
Quite the Shakespearean
Sometimes even a villain
Well versed with the classics
Performing them with magic
You could pull off Dickens
Off came the mittens
When venturing into science fiction
Causing quite an addiction
For watching certain shows
Always keeping us on our toes
Of what one might expect
You had that affect
But for now, we will see you in re-runs
Watching our most favourite ones
For myself the one is and always will be
Nicolas Nickleby
Rest in peace
Sweet prince
Roger Rees
RIP FINNISH SUMMER 3.-5.7.2015
“People take pictures of the Summer, just in case someone thought they had missed it, and to proved that it really existed” Ray Davies
In Memory of the Finnish Summer 2015
Oh what a bummer
When the finnish summer
Died a quick death
Before we could catch a breath
You stayed here for three days
And inspired us in so many ways
You did not go quietly into that good night
But put up a good fight
With a thunder and heavy rain
You tried to ease our pain
Rest in peace our dearest one
Maybe next year we’ll have some fun
When once more
You will be reborn
