Photo finish Friday 2: “A kiss is just a….”
A kiss is just a….
The Borg and the hologram went out on a date.
The Borg and the hologram were told not to stay too late.
At 7 of 9, things that night were still fine.
At 9 of 7, things next morning were not heaven.
A doctor was called; he appeared out of thin air
He examined the patients with a gruff, “I don’t care.”
“The Borg’s done for,” he said with a grin
For you see the hologram has gotten under her skin.
So let this be a tale of dating across lines
Because once you do cross, you may come back realigned.
[Editor’s / author’s note: This photo above appeared on Facebook from the Star Trek web site with a caption me request. My response was the poem, which just flowed out in about 10 minutes. I am not saying it is great quality, just a bit of rhyming whimsy. Strange how sometimes that happens.]

Writing tip Wednesday: “Discipline”
Writing regularly; reading often; re-writing diligently. These three things will help you improve more than any others. And like exercise or playing a musical instrument, doing it on a schedule, even if for only for a brief time every day will do you more good than picking a spot here or there, now and then, or sometime soon. Here and now is the place and time to begin, and a little discipline will make all the there’s here and all the then’s now, and do so sooner than you realize.
