“William Shatner”

A Free Verse Fiasco

Copyright 2010

I hate William Shatner
I love William Shatner
I don’t know William Shatner

William Shatner makes me gag
William Shatner makes me cringe
William Shatner fills me with glee

I’m going to call him Bill now
Bill’s been in my head since 1969
Bill on the brain for 41 years

Why is Bill in my head?
Does anyone care?
It doesn’t matter; he’s there to stay

I have a confession to make
I like Leonard Nimoy better (audience gasps)
Leonard Nimoy rocks my casbah

The above verse was a half truth
You decide which half
Len & Bill = apple & orange*

Len & Bill cannot be compared
Me talk like cavewoman now
Want Len & Bill to fight over me

With clubs & bloody fists
The victor dragging me by hair
To love cave


*William of Orange?
