The Cage

They beamed down to a planet fair
illusions all around the air
the Captain was a man named Pike
he never joked at all (oh my!)

Mr. Spock smiled at a singing flower
two women were stolen with alien power
the Captain was trapped as if in a zoo
but of course he figured out what to do
Number One helped, with a phaser on overload—
and finally the Talosians let them go.

Is this a dream? You ask in confusion.
No, only Star Trek as it could-have-been.
