Make It Not So (Trek No-Nos) - ©2016 Chris Conway

Star Trek is a show, that I've always loved,
Well at least since I was 4 years old.
Now I think we've known eachother well enough
For a few home truths to be told.
So the TV goes on, the music rolls,
Where is it this time we're gonna boldly go?

Oh no!!! - It's another holodeck.
Episode – we know just what were gonna get...
“End Program!” doesn't work.
The safety protocols have been shut down.
A hologram character has gone beserk.
I seem to be stuck in nightclub town.
The pastiche comedy is overdone.
The writers are having too much fun!

No no no no, no no no no, No no make it not so!
No no no no, no no no no, No no make it not so!

After all these years, my ritual's still the same.
I get my dinner ready right on time.
Original, Next Gen, Voyager or Deep Space 9
Any kind of Trek really I don't mind. (Apart from the Abbrams reboot movies...)
I'm going to pretend they were just a bad dream,
I want to watch a show that doesnt make me scream...

Oh no!! Its another Klingon
Episode – we know just what we're gonna get...
Family honour, and “A good day to die”,
Haven't I already seen this show?
Staggering around smashed on blood wine,
How they built an empire I don't know!
Like braggard drunks on a Saturday night
Yawn, here comes another Bat'leth fight....

No no no no, no no no no, No no make it not so!
No no no no, no no no no, No no make it not so!

My favourite episodes,
Are when the plot never strays too far,
I can walk around the starship,
Or the space station Promenade,
Or meet you in Ten Forward,
Beside a window of starlight.
But something sadly tells me.
That's not gonna happen tonight.

Oh no! It's another Old Earth
Episode – It's another Q
Episode – It's a Captain-falls-in-love
Episode – It's a Data-saves-the-day!
Episode -

No no no no, no no no no, No no no no, no no no no No no make it not so!
