Star Trek: The Next Germination: “The multigrain sandwich and war”

Multigrain for Picard 

Made chewing very hard 

On the bridge to make it so. 

Because of that special dough 

When the Romulans did appear 

The sandwich would not clear

His throat so he could order

“Data, warp 8 to the boarder!”

Now, over 20 years have passed

And his days in Starfleet amassed

In history books where stories are told

Of his feats, both brave and bold.

But there is one footnote aside

About the one mission that was tried.

Enterprise and crew were almost lost

Until Number One grabbed and tossed

The multi-grain demon across the bridge

Striking Worf upon his ridge,

And then he slapped Picard on the back

Which caused the Captain to go “Hack-ack-ack.”

Worf thought that meant aim and fire

Photons and phaser banks entire.

When the weapons were all depleted 

And Picard was finally seated

Worf peeled the sandwich from his head

Took a bite and boldly said,

“Needs mustard.”

Plucked from the Headlines: Chicken Sandwich Slinger Caught in Crosshairs of Battering Bloggers

Marriage of Socialism and Satan blamed for bizarre barrage of bad press over sandwich give away by Pennsylvania franchise.

Prayers called for by all right-minded Christians in the Chicken Sandwich Slinger’s hour of need. “Don’t get caught waffling,” one supporter intoned, “or you will fry in Hell.”

No official comment from the poultry wing of the political spectrum. Some say they have been bullied into submission and cower at the thought of speaking up for fear of being squawked. “We have decided to lay low on this one,” an inside source said, speaking anonymously on background. “This entire situation is all fowled up.”

“This is not egg-actly what we had hoped for,” C.T., founder and president of Chicken Sandwich Slinger, said when asked about it two weeks ago. “But we stand behind our independent franchise slinger’s actions in offering free sandwiches to legally married couples. Man and woman couples. We prayed about it and have decided to carry this idea nationwide and will be offering one free Chicken Slinger’s Sandwich to couples holding a valid marriage license.”

Unsubstantiated reports show an increase in online requests for ministers’ licenses, with the largest spikes appearing in the San Francisco, New York, and Atlanta areas. When asked about this, 84-year-old C.T. said it was “a feather in our cap,” if the increases were due to his promotional idea. “We’ll yet put the gay ol’ time back into marriage,” he said. “Even if we have to do it one Chicken Slinger’s Sandwich at a time.”

There was no immediate response from the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Alliance.

More details as they become available.
