The Red Dwarf Crew

Somewhere in the depth of space,

Is a ship long past it's sell by date,

Manned by a bunch of mismatched beings and droids,

Who travel through time and space - possibly on steroids.

A dumb computer with a lost IQ,

A navigation officer many fans would like to kill,

A quirky mechanoid with optional groinal attachments,

And a vain felis sapiens who would NEVER give up his fancy wardrobe for lent.

Then there's the dysfunctional hologram Rimmer,

His bunkmate Lister who's two life obsessions are curries and Krissy,

And of course not forgetting Rimmer's on and off girlfriends – Poor punctured Rachael and Inflatable Ingrid.

So that is it, the incredibly imaginative crew, of the Jupiter Mining vessel Red Dwarf, Who mostly spend their life fighting GELFs, simulants, and things that can morph,

Though thankfully not many can shoot straight.
