Still Captain After All These Years
by Rob Wynne and Jeff Williams
To the Tune of "Still Crazy After All These Years" by Paul Simon
I met an old classmate down on Starbase Ten
He seemed surprised to see me, but I just smiled
And we talked about our old ships and had ourselves some beers
I'm still Captain after all these years
Now I'm the kind of man who tends to socialize
I have a brand new girlfriend every day
But I will not make comittments that bind me to one sphere
Still Captain after all these years
My prime directive
Tossed out
Defective
I did it all my own way
I never worry
Why should I?
I always save the day
Now I sit by my window and look at the stars
I've done far too much damage for just one day
But it always works out for the best despite the Admiralty's fears

Robert Wynne ("Doc") is a gentleman rogue and a
scholar of
truth. He has been, at alternate times, a writer, an editor, a
salesman, a teacher, a freelance computer consultant and a charming
vagrant. You can reach him via e-mail at doc@america.net.
While herding a sturdy diesel across the highways of
life Jeff
Williams dreamed of
becoming a writer. In between haunting railroad yards he scribbles
cryptic notes on slightly-used paper napkins and posts them off to his
colaborator, Rob Wynne. They brainstorm these abstruse anagrams into
the tales that you've just been reading. And people say the youth of
America have no goals in life. You can reach Jeff at jtwrccc@aol.com
