The Naked Now

FALL

Silence.
Calm, Peace.
Thunderclap roars, splits the heavens, crash divides the sky.
A small star brightens, grows, streaks burning, smoke billows black across the blue.

And none, of all the forces I could draw
Could do but aught against the dreadful wound.
The brightness of the lights that lit your face
Did nothing to congeal the horrid flow
And I was forced to watch, and hold my place,
As your bright orbs did lose their living glow.
You told me that you loved me, and you cried,
I had no words to answer, and you died.

When you bury your best friend

Here I am burying my friend,
'cause there he was, driving his car at 90mph into a dead end.

There once was a woman from Venus, whose body was shaped like a .........

Thank God Picard interrupted him, I doubt we'd like to hear the rest of it.
