“I’m surfing the giant life wave”
William Shatner
Happy Birthday to William Shatner
O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate
Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong
When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner
Live Long and Prosper!

You played the part

But became so much more
Rest in peace,

“I am a doctor, not a magician!” Leonard McCoy
Homage to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999)
I am a doctor, not a doorstop
I can go on nonstop
I am a miracle worker
Maybe even a tearjerker
Concocting cures for all ailments
I have the treatments
No matter if my patients
Be alien or human
Even if the Yeoman
Came down with the flu
I have the cure and the clue
On what to do
So maybe I am a magician
The premium edition
And even that green blooded
Gosh, darn, crud it…Vulcan
Has to admit it
And I am loving every damned minute!

“There’s nothing I would retire for, so I won’t retire”
James Earl Jones
Happy 86th Birthday James Earl Jones!
A voice like thunder
Presence filled with wonder
From pre-med
On to the stage
Many a great characters
Taking us into adventures
But lucky were us nerds
When the voice of Darth Vader we heard
Other than that?
Well, of course, many happy returns!

“I may be a senior, but so what? I’m still hot”
Betty White
Happy 95th Birthday Betty White!
Absolutely fabulous
Absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely hilarious
Absolutely flawless
Laughter is eternal
Completely universal
If I could not laugh
I would be terminal
Thanks for everything so far Ms. Betty
Throwing your way some confetti
What ever more you can deliver
I am totally ready!
Many happy returns,
Betty!

“I live right in front of my daughter.
I have a little house right in front of her because
I can stay in touch. It’s like a little commune,
and it’s very nice, because you can be close.
I can see my granddaughter.
I live very close to my brother, too, and my son.
We’re a very close family”
Debbie Reynolds
RIP Debbie Reynolds
She had grace
She had style
A comedic sense
Which made us smile
A true star
Shining, now and forever
For us fans near and far

“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
Happy Birthday to Nichelle Nichols
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!

‘I thought playing a princess in a goofy little sci-fi film would be fun’
Carrie Fisher
RIP Carrie Fisher
Actress, writer, a super hero
Your delicate frame, reminiscent of a sparrow
In your mind a giant, a role model for tomorrow
You played a princess on the screen
For us, you’ll be, the truest of royalty ever seen
May the Force be With You…Always.
