Earth date December 2257 – San Francisco, Earth
AN: Heard the Tom Jones/Cerys Matthews version on the radio today whilst driving and it set my imagination going. My Star Trek tribute to an old song, popular at this time of year on this side of the equator. For those fans who believe Uhura was the chaser…I recommend you review Zac Quinto and Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Spock. :o)
Uhura - I really can't stay
Spock – But cadet, it is precipitating heavily outside
Uhura – I've got to go away
Spock – Cadet, it is very wet outside
Uhura – This evening has been
Spock – It is agreeable you dropped in
Uhura – So very nice,
Spock – I will remove your coat, it is cold as ice
Uhura – Christine Chapel might start to worry
Spock – Cadet what is your hurry
Uhura – Gaila might be pacing the floor
Spock – Listen to my heating equipment roar
Uhura – So really I'd better scurry
Spock – Cadet, please cease to hurry
Uhura – Maybe just a half a drink more
Spock – Play the holomusic, while I pour
Uhura – Your neighbours might think
Spock – Cadet, it is wet out there
Uhura – Says what's in this drink?
Spock – No hovercabs to be had out there
Uhura – I wish I knew how
Spock – Her eyes are like warplights now
Uhura – To break this spell
Spock – I will take your hat, your clothes er purse as well
Uhura – I ought to say no, no, no

Ah but it's wet outside
Uhura – I've got to get home
Spock – Nyota, it is wet out there
Uhura – Spock, where is my coat?
Spock – Your knees will be wet out there
Uhura – You've really been grand
Spock – Thrill me and touch my ear
Uhura – Why don't you see?
Spock – How do you do this 'thing' to me?
Uhura – There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Spock – Think of my illogical sorrow
Uhura – I don't want favouritsm implied
Spock – If you caught Andorian pneumonia and died
Uhura – I really can't stay
Spock – Your logic needs to come out
Ah but it's wet outside
Oh ashau it's wet outside
P.S The following day Uhura had the answer to Gaila's question of which shade of green best described Commander Spock's family jewels. She has decided not to comment on the matter.
