Fractured Verse, by Chinook6
With apologies to William Blake's "The Tyger" (1793)

Neroon! Minbari! burning bright In the Starfire Wheel of light, Perturbed by Shakiri's spineless showing, You took command, and now are glowing. Lennier, the one-lunged, now is grinning: The competition pool is thinning. He stares into the swirling flame And bids adieu to What's-his-name. Delenn, though sun-burned, dress a-dinged, Notes her hair's not even singed. Will John like the new her, tanned? Or will her future be un-manned? Great Maker killed another guester: Kosh, Dukhat, Morden, who's next? Bester? Even Marcus fans are quaking After Alyt Neroon's fierce baking. A cloud of dust, a puff of smoke: Star Rider Clan's short one more bloke. Just like Branmer, Neroon is scattered Into ash and anti-matter. Neroon! Minbari! burning bright In the Starfire Wheel of light, In the Saloon you're immortalized When we play "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." |
