Continuing to celebrate National Poetry Month with an entry from the world of science fiction...
Data was one of the annoying characters on Star Trek: The Next Generation.* An android, he was always yearning to be more human. To that end, he took up various artistic projects. Here, he presents a poem he wrote for his cat, Spot. I think it's iambic pentameter, but I wasn't an English major, so I could be wrong. Either way, it lacks soul. Which I guess was the point.
*Yes, "one of." Other annoying characters include Riker, Picard, Troi, Dr. Crusher, Wesley, LaForge, Dr. Pulaski.
