Hey! I'm sorry I haven't been uploading for a while, but... I'm trying, okay?

After Commander Spock had finished playing Octopus's Garden, there was much applause and a general appreciative murmur from the science department and others gathered. One researcher stood up. "Hey, Mr. Spock, do you know any other Beatles songs, and would you mind playing them for us?" Spock raised both eyebrows, but actually considered the request. "There is a limited number of songs playable on only one string instrument… have you heard of the song 'Norwegian Wood'?" A fair amount of people said they did. "Very well then." Spock sat back down, and without further ado began playing, this time singing loud and clear. This song, he evidently knew well.
I
Once had a girl
Or should I say
She once had me?
Everyone was surprised. He had sung a little in Octopus's Garden, but this… Spock was actually singing, and his voice was quite amazing. He seemed to be putting emotion into his deep voice, making the timbre rich. Others weren't singing, actually quite content to just grin and listen to the voice with lyre accompaniment.
She
Showed me her room
Isn't it good
Norwegian Wood?
Everyone listened, entranced. There was a certain hush over the crowd, as Commander Spock sang the merry song and strummed his lyre.
And
When I awoke
I was alone
This bird has flown
So
I lit a fire
Isn't it good
Norwegian Wood?
There was deafening applause after Mr. Spock finished the song. He seemed slightly startled by the amount of people he saw sitting or standing, listening to him play. Then turned to look at one person wearing Science Blue sitting in the back, and raised an eyebrow. "Miss Schwartz, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe your shift started one point six five minutes ago." The lady, who had been trying to be inconspicuous, blushed and muttered an excuse as she got up to leave. Some others also got up, as they realized their shift had also begun. Spock also picked up his lyre and prepared to leave, for he had been going to go back to his quarters until the researcher had asked him to play another song.
Back on the bridge, the shift had just ended, but Captain Kirk as well as the rest of the command crew had stayed, listening to Spock's music play over the intercom which Uhura had hacked. But when it seemed he had stopped, Kirk gave the chair over to his replacement for that shift.
Sorry the ending stunk. I wasn't quite sure how else to end it.
