The lizard rests and thinks it’s quite alone
\nSince now that pesky Spock lies poisoned by.
\nBut then the twisted scissors catch its eye
\nAnd darting to evade them, it meets stone.
\nFor poisoned Spock, before it was too late
\nWas briefly vanished from the universe
\nThen, in a sudden, startling reverse
\nReturned when his disproof the lizard ate.
\nThe stone, with reptile innards slimed, in paper
\nNow is wrapped. And thus it blunts the blades
\nOf snipping, snapping scissors. Then it fades
\nAs phaser-blasts reduce its bulk to vapor.
\nI know the winning choice is purely random
\nBut entry and amusement run in tandem.<\/p>\n
