WHO TRANSPORTED MY CHEESE?

(c) 2004 Jungle Kitty


In Monday's meeting
I felt fear. Everyone was
wearing a red shirt.

One who holds power
demands that we serve him. What
episode is this?

We are re-orged
by this hostile new life form.
I alone survive.



In Tuesday's meeting
I was cowed. My manager
had on a gold shirt.

I think, "I know Kirk.
I've written about Kirk. And
you are no Jim Kirk."

But I keep silent.
No McCoy-ish outbursts here. Risk
is not my business.



In Wednesday's meeting
I was bored. A red alert
would have been welcome.

But it was all talk.
Just as boring as Star Trek: 
The Motion Picture.

Do they play Buzzword
Bingo in the Twenty-Third
Century? They must.



In Thursday's meeting
my Trek joke bombed. In my mind,
I Charlie X'd them.

Then I made up facts
And data that made no sense
Just like Mr. Spock.

I would love to play
a game of Fizzbin with this
strange new management.



No meeting today.
I work at home, out of reach
of Starfleet Command.

Decision required.
Advisers useless. Look! My
"What Would Kirk Do" shirt.

Advice from a shirt?
Why not? The prime directive
can go to hell. HA!



Next week I command
the USS XML. 
Five years easily.

I'm the Captain Kirk
on this. The rest will follow 
later. Mere Picards.


[The End]

NOTE: This is dedicated to a woman I worked for many years ago who would
assign people to investigate new processes or technologies by saying,
"You're the Captain Kirk of this. All the Picards will follow later."
