An Homage to Nichelle Nichols, Live Long and Prosper!

“All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world” NICHELLE NICHOLS

An Homage to Nichelle Nichols, Live Long and Prosper!

From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut

A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken

An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil 😉

Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad

This might sound a cliche
Live Long and Prosper!

Homage to Dame Judi Dench: I’m not getting old, I am getting better

Homage to Dame Judi Dench: I’m not getting old, I am getting better! 

Many Happy Returns Dame Judi!

Unknown

“There are very few things that surprise me” Judi Dench

I’m not getting old, I am getting better

I am becoming a classic

Like the fine wine
For a special occasion to dine
Like the little red Corvette
You always wanted as a pet

I am
much better
more wiser
and even smarter
Than ever

Extraordinary woman
Exemplary human
Remarkable personality
Striking beauty

If you challenge me
I will compete with thee
Reach the finish line
Before you have the time
To Say
Wait for me!

Many things I have accomplished
Some of them without compliments
Many more still to come
Before I am done

What’s up next
You ask
Without being hexed
I would like the task
Ruler of the World naturally to follow
But not today,
Maybe tomorrow

“Actors, I don’t think, ever really grow up. I’m hoping that that rejuvenating process applies to me, too. It has so far. I’ve been very lucky” Derek Jacobi

Homage to Sir Derek Jacobi

Loved you in Claudius
Adored you in Octavius
Excellent performance in Cadfael
Utterly radiant in Halifax
And completely hilarious in Vicious

On this special day
An homage I’d like to pay
With wishes most sincere
To an actor utterly revered
Sir Derek Jacobi

Homage to Sigourney Weaver

“It’s such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out” Sigourney Weaver

Homage to Sigourney Weaver, Happy Birthday

Titillating, luscious, sexy
Statuesque, stately, leggy

Just a few adjectives to describe
An actress quite divine

Drama, comedy, horror
Sometimes even the explorer

Quite the knack for science fiction
Up to the point of fans’ addiction

The queen of all queens
Our one and only Sci-Fi Queen

On this day of celebration
Thanking you for your dedication

What more is there to say
But a very Happy Birthday

A Merry Birthday To You, Sir Pat

Posted on by

“I wouldn’t know a space-time continuum or warp core breach if they got into bed with me” Sir Patrick Stewart

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!

A Rose by any other Name

Photo101: Day Sixteen: Treasure & Close-up

“Wake up and smell the roses”

A Rose by any other Name

You delicate little thing
What joy for me you bring
You landed on my desk
Looking oh so statuesque
You were a gift for my birthday
Even though it was a workday
Thanks dear work mates
Bringing something great
To an otherwise dreary day

Live Long And Prosper

Homage to Gun Roswell, née 27th June, 1965

“All right, it’s worked so far, but we’re not out yet” McCoy

Live Long And Prosper

Born in nineteen sixty-five
Came to this world with a jive
Hips in a sway
First words, Yippie-Ki-Yay
Fifty years later
Still not a life hater
Resistance may be futile
And aging sometimes brutal
“But honey, these ain’t wrinkles”
She says with eyes in twinkle
Smiling with her face in a crinkle
“They’re just laugh lines” and a sign
Of a life lived just fine

Resistance has truly been futile: 50 years down, 150 more years to go ;P
