This is another poem written quite a while ago, and printed in the 1990s by ScoTpress. McCoy POV - occurs during "The Empath" episode.

Star Trek and all associated characters do not belong to me.


My Turn Now


You've won too many arguments,

You stubborn-headed Vulcan.

Out ranked and out manouveured me

Unmovable as stone.

Convinced yourself so utterly

That logic never falters,

And sacrifice and martyrdom

Are meant for you alone.

But now I've scored a victory,

Defeated Vulcan logic,

My actions quite unethical,

My methods underhand.

I've seized the opportunity,

Ignored my Starfleet training,

And disobeyed the orders

Of my Second-in-Command.

I won't forget those seconds

As the hypo took your senses;

Your sudden comprehension,

Under disbelief and shock.

No chance for fool heroics,

As you sleep beside your Captain.

You thought you'd got your way again,

Not this time, Spock.

End
