#klingon
by Elizabeth Hensley
To the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon
Worf the Yuppy Klingon
lived in the skies
And struggled in the holodecks
Aboard the Enterprise!
Fiesty little Tasha
Fought that Klingon Worf
With battle ax and shining sword
And other lethal stuff.
Together they would tussle
Through purple, peaceful Space,
Fighting things within the ship
With surly, savage grace.
Now Klingons outlive Humans
In time 'bout two to four
But one sad day poor Tasha died
And Worf could fight no more.
Without his fiesty friend
Worf could not be beat
All else aboard the shining ship
Were just too kind and sweet.
So forever after
Worf could then be seen
Not fighting live and Human foes
But only the machine.

I was a sweet kid, kind and calm
We lived down by the power plants
I did not have so many friends
Daddy ran some business on Mars
I had my own rocket in the garage
When I was lonely I counted the stars
*I got along
Only sometimes
It felt a little wrong*
Her sweetest smile would never fade
She was never late
She cooked so well but she never ate
She looked kind and nice
Yet there was no love in her eyes
Her iron heart was cold as ice
*I got along
Only sometimes
It felt a little wrong*
Ten years later then
I met this girl on Tralfamadore 10
Golden hair and silver skin
I asked her out for dinner, she agreed
We took the Klingon place on 11th street
She drank a lot but she did not eat
*We got along
Only somehow
It felt a little wrong*

I know how to say
"I love you" in
English and French,
and Spanish and Italian,
and Russian and Bulgarian,
and Arabic and Dothraki
and High Valyrian,
and Klingon,
and in any other language
you ask,
I know how to
write "I love you"
in Gallifreyan and
Tengwar,
I know how to make up
a billion different poems
about my love for you.
But still, it won't make you
love me back. I somehow
was never enough for you.
You keep me awake every night
wondering why you left
and I think it's high time
I started looking up
how to say "I don't hate you",
"I've moved on", "I don't miss you"
and "I am okay" in all these
languages in which
"I love you" didn't matter.
