Kirk vs. Picard

Kirk vs. Picard

Kirk and Picard are the Captains of legend.
To them, no one else can compare.
But, here is a list of their flaws and their virtues.
To start, there’s the issue of hair.

Picard’s head is smooth as a cue ball; it’s hairless.
It simply has no sense of style.
But Kirk has such hair that your fingers can run through,
The kind that makes all women smile.

Up next, is the question of favored libations.
Picard would choose Earl Grey or wine.
But, Romulan ale would top Kirk’s list of potions,
And, Saurian brandy is fine.

Each Captain’s First Officer is the next topic;
A choice between Riker and Spock.
Will Riker spends much of his time in Ten-Forward,
But Spock is at work ‘round the clock.

And then, there’s the question of picking up women.
So different! Where would you begin?
Jean Luc takes his time wooing Beverly Crusher,
While Kirk grabs a girl with green skin.

Now, don’t get me wrong; both these Captains are awesome
And neither their duties would shirk.
But if facing the Borg or a ship full of Klingons,
Don’t give me Picard; give me Kirk!
