All Hailing Frequencies are Open

This poem is dedicated to the Communications Officer of the Enterprise.

All Hailing Frequencies are Open

All hailing frequencies are open,
Important communications are on their way.
The mistress of the frequency domain
Is on the job day by day.
She can rebuild a broken circuit.
Her fingers will program any dialect.
Her satisfaction of a good job
Is what she always will expect.

The calm and beautiful lady
Who flies on the best of ships,
Is Communications officer Uhura.
Who offers wisdom and her friendship.
Her voice can be strong and articulate.
She can sing like the music in your soul.
She loves to share songs with crew members,
Her performances they gladly extol.

The life of Uhura is a legend.
She went where no woman had gone before.
She met aliens, probe Nomad and strange people.
She made history as she loved to explore.
This young lady from Earth was so proud,
So let’s blow our horns and beat a drum!
Uhura, you gave us much to dream of,
But for those who can see, it means ‘freedom!’
