It's a beautiful poem but we can't even guess that it is a poem because of these... pauses... Lol. Captain Kirk/quotes from books is definitely my OTP. :D He is so awesome when recites something.
@Treblaine Oh so true. Aside from the rushed scenes with Nimoy, I felt like there was no heart, soul, or mind to the new movie, just a bunch of action sequences strung together with cliches. Real Star Trek TOS was so much more than it appeared to be and Roddenberry's frequent usage of topical, often controversial issues really gave deeper meaning to the phrase "to boldly go where no man has gone before".
@maswellasm Well Star Trek had it's day in the sun, such a great TV series not to mention the First few movies.
Today I get my sci-fi-space-with-modern-allegories from Battlestar Galactica; totally different from Star Trek but it has the depth and meaning that I crave.
Thanks for this posting.I love this mixing of old and new themes. It's like a thought for the day.. Love it to death.. I subscribed, keep it up,mate...

Nearly the exact same music and line used in Star Trek V, and yet McCoy still forgot who said it. XP

Shatner is and was always a GREAT actor. PERIOD.

This is the kind of stuff the new Star Trek movie so fatally lacked.
Now Star Trek Reboot was not a "bad film"... it just wasn't anything special, it didn't have that Star Trek wonder for space-travel.

Gene Wilder quotes this poem in the Willie Wonka movie too. I think he also recites some Ogden Nash in that movie too.

Capt. Kirk said that again on Star Trek V: The Final Frontier as the Galileo 5 shuttlecraft is on approach to the Enterprise-A.

I love he way Shatner performs this excerpt: he makes it his own

God, Shatner makes this poem funny. "All I ask is.... A tall ship. And a..... star. To steer her by."
