Born in a JetC
And raised upon scenes
Of leather-clad Maquis
And sad Coda dreams;
With listmom beside you
And beta along
You'll soon be a-righting Trek wrongs.

All the long, lazy fanfics
On planets of green,
The wind in his hair,
Her mug of caffeine--
It all has prepared you
The prize to attain--
And vote for the roses again.

So it's vote for the roses
For three at a time,
Your tales are delivered
Your poems they rhyme;
It's the fic of a lifetime
In a lifetime of fic
From the days of "Commander, your stick."
The days of "Commander, your stick."

From author to author
It's borne in the soul,
The fire of a Captain
And an XO so bold;
So damn the regulations
And explore the unknown,
And finally bring Voyager home.

And it's vote for the roses
For three at a time,
Your tales are delivered
Your poems they rhyme;
It's the fic of a lifetime
In a lifetime of fic
From the days of "Commander, your stick."
The days of "Commander, your stick."
