| - | + | ||
| - | A Canadian, name of Brainbin, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Took OTL and gave it a spin. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | From the smallest of starts, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | He won Readers and hearts. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | So much in it. Oh, where to begin? | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | To list its charms in separate proportions, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Would tie up this rhyme in contortions. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Now you've no-one to blame, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If you play The Drinking Game. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The alcohol may well cause some distortions | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | He baited his hook and we bit. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Now we keep coming back for the hit. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Trek ran for five seasons, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | for impeccable reasons | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | (Though Shatner still was a bit of a twit). | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | A Quagmire abroad was truncated | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | While Nixon was sadly deflated | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Though it isn't all roses, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Such is life, one supposes. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Just be glad ' | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | We've had surprises and plenty of laughs | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | We've seen Trek and The Doctor cross paths. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The Fonz bit the dust, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Twas a shame but a must. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | (I can't recall if there' | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Muppets and Tropes and the Moon | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | (And me, rhyming away like a loon) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | So much left unsung, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Yet I've barely begun! | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | (Fear ye not, this' | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | It is late and I should go to bed | + | |
| - | + | ||

| - | + | ||
