The game of course was to recast
The primary characters were
We'll begin with the logical starter
And then there's our handsome commander
Hunnicutt and Hawkeye's redispersal
And then we have Hot Lips and Frank
Now we look to cast Radar O'Reilly
Max Klinger did like to cross-dress
A most logical choice for Tuvok
We mustn't forget Ensign Kim.
Our final casting retake
The images of the Voyager crew in M.A.S.H. persona have been with me since I read the suggestion...I've been 'casting' all morning! Now remember, Paramount owns them.... I just rhyme them.
M.A.S.H.ed
by Cybermum
When issued a challenge this time
To work M.A.S.H. and Trek into a rhyme
I was rather perplexed
As to what to do next
To come up with the right paradigm.
The characters from that show past
Into parts that are new
i.e: Voyager's crew
And I've come up with something at last.
(And with this I hope you will concur)
Hawkeye Pierce and his pals
All those guys and their gals:
Any order that you might prefer.
Who could play the role of Sherman Potter?
Why Janeway of course
(Does she ride a horse?)
As Captain you know that she oughter…
Who's been known the odd time to philander.
Now we'll be esoteric
And make him the cleric
So he'll have to remain a bystander.
Would need very little rehearsal
B'Elanna and Tom
Should play with aplomb
With a slight bit of gender reversal.
Who should equal each other in rank
Why not Seven and Doc
Wow! I think that's a lock
One's a looker; the other's a crank.
Who is known to be clever and wily.
Naomi's the gnome
With Wes Crusher's syndrome
While acting demure and quite shyly.
Regulations he'd often transgress
Neelix fits this description
He is my prescription
As his clothes often cause much distress.
Would be that particular Doc
Major Charles Winchester;
He's easy to pester
And a natural laughingstock.
Who can we come up with for him?
Trapper John would be best
He's one of two left...
Although Harry's a little bit prim.
Would be Kes playing as Henry Blake.
It's easy to see
The Powers That Be
Canned them both – a dramatic mistake.
