A Voyager Christmas
T'was the night before Christmas onVoyager ship,
Neelix was in the nook counting his tips,
The phaser-rifle were hung in the armor'y securely,
In hopes the Kazon would not be up that early.
The Voyager crew were all snug in their beds,
And a few Maquis wished Janeway were dead.
Janeway in her quarters thinking of Mark,
And hopes that he did not go to DS9's Quarks.
When out in the corridors there arose such a racket,
Janeway lept from her bed putting on her silky white jacket,
Away to the lifts the crew shot like a gun,
Then looked at Janeway, surprised and a little stunned.
The bridge red alert lights flashed through the din,
Gave a luster of Hades and objects within,
When, what, on the viewscreen our eyes should behold,
But a tiny red sleigh and some geek who looked old.
With the glint in his eyes so strange and askew,
We knew in a moment it had to be Q,
He zapped to the bridge and took us by surprise,
He said he would take them all home(Perhaps he's not such a bad guy).
The Voyager crew jumped out of there chairs,
And Q started to name planets while gliding through the air,
"There's Remus and Kronos and Cardassia Prime,
And Betazed and here Earth were right on time."
(Now we all know if Q took them home,
That would surely end all of the Voyager shows,
As we watch the grimice on Q's omnipotent face,
We see he plans to violate a certain law in space.)
Q says "Come enjoy madam capitan,
Before you contact Earth and tap in,"
"But why do you want talk to me?" Janeway asked,
"Why can't we return to our loved ones? What is the a mask?"
Q angrily said "Why are you questioning, why I brought you back."
Janeway answered, "Because YOU are not known to do something like that!"
Q was furious then started to shake and he disappeared into space,
The ship tossed, and could not stand up brace.
Janeway was wondering what Q had in mind,
When he brought them back home in her own lifetime,
"Kim, what is a status? is our shield holding out"
"For the time being, captian, but our warp field is out"
Paris at his conn thinking this might be his time,
Then, he thought about the stardate 40928.9,
"Captain, I think I have an answer" Paris exclaimed,
Janeway looked up "What is this you decided to claim?"
"Captain do you know what day this is?"
"Why would you want to know what day it is?"
"But captain it is also Christmas Day,
Q visited the Enterprise this very day."
"Paris, how do you remember such data"
"By remembering a poem I read on, Data"
As soon as Q heard this he zapped to the bridge,
And gave his congrats and a mighty fine vintange.
But for the cost of his patience he sent the Voyager back,
Back to the Delta Quadrant and perhaps a little further back,
The bridge fell silent and was very distressed,
That Janeway lost another hope to be rescued at best.
Than Q appeared once more to make their day complete,
To send them a message from the head of Starfleet,
The message was on paper, and message had no fuss,
It said "'Live Long and Prosper, and Good Luck from all of us.\\//"
