The Trouble with Tribbles
written by Echo

When you feed a tribble, what do you get?
A fat tribble to love and pet?
No, you get a pile of mini-tribbles,

something to write about in scribbles.

They produce at will,
And goodness, have they got a lot of will!
My tribble gorges itself daily,
While I'm learning to play the ukulele.

If you are being optimistic,
Tribbles do indeed have one redeeming characteristic.
Is it that they are furry, and soft to the touch?
No, it is that they do not talk too much.

Klingons are their mortal enemy,
not a single one allowed near the embassy.
But in order to reassure the Klingon's fall,
Scotty transported the whole tribble kit'n caboodle, where they'll be no tribble at all.
