The Menagerie, Part 2
The video played
and the four men watched
what it had to say.
It showed a long-ago day,
in a zoo-like spot;
the video played.
Pike was snatched away
and the crew said "what?"
What it had to say
Was of a history grey
and distraught.
The video played
And they sat all day
(much too long—but so what?)
The video played
what it had to say.
