“Whoever it was that sent that thing was more than simply curious.”

Watch online at YouTube.

Ode to Spot
Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,

An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;

Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses

Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,

A singular development of cat communications

That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection

For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;

You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.

And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,

It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display

Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.

And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,

I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

I just discovered that the YouTube link above only has 3 of the 5 parts. And I can’t find this episode elsewhere. I hope everyone else had the foresight to obtain it by other means. :eyebrow:

Whut! The Bosian (sp?) doesn’t have it?

Mussed-up haired Riker is funny.

From his/her website:

CBS BROADCASTING HAS ATTACKED MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL, AND DISABLED MANY OF THE EPISODES I UPLOADED THERE…

Picard’s face says it all.

BORING!!!

It’s like Dr. Seuss. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh SNAP! They are everywhere.

Ha! You read my mind. I was just thinking how cool it would be to write out Data’s Ode to Spot. :smiley:

You know, They are all so polite. He’s an android. You could just walk out. He has no ego to bruise.

“Commander, you have anticipated my denouement. However, I appreciate the sentiment.” :smiley:

They aliens read your mind and injected the thots into mind. But why they need an anal probe to do that. I’ll never know.

I don’t even know why they’re humoring him in the first place. How invested could he really be in expressing his “art”?

You take that back :slight_smile:

Dr. Bev. Witch doctor.

New LaForge Sensor Array?

Modest much.

There are no amino acids in lactose. It’s a sugar.

Doctor fail. :rolleyes:

“Was my poetry uninteresting?”

Just tell me.

Some men compensate with flashy cars… :rolleyes:
