Fart Trek: Deep Space Nine

~By Aussie Lore

Wandering on the Promenade on the space base, Deep Space Nine,
One can be easily fooled into thinking that everything is fine.
During rush hours, the merchants talk loudly, trying to sell their wares,
And young children of crewmembers run recklessly, without any cares.
And Quark in his bar, wiping the counter and talking to Morn,
Wondering aloud why Kira, Jadzia and Bashir look so forlorn.
Odo approaches, and Quark tries not to look caught.
"The Captain should go home, at least we think he ought."
"What's wrong with Captain Sisko? I have another deal to make with him!"
"If it is to install another Dabo table, the outcome will be grim."
Odo ignored Quark's complaints as the Ferengi's face fell.
"Trust me, Quark, if you asked, you'd be dragged backwards through hell."
"So what is wrong then? Captain Sisko wouldn't refuse!
My other Dabo tables have been badly misused!"
"That's your own fault because you allow those people to play.
And as for the Captain, he's not well today."
"I heard of this a while ago" rumbled a voice from the door.
Worf stepped forward. "On the Enterprise, the effects I honestly saw."
With an evil grin at Quark, Worf said "It only affects those that are smart.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Captain Sisko is the victim of the Brain Fart."
"Wait a minute, are you saying my intelligence is stunted?"
Asked Quark, amazed. In reply, Odo laughed and Worf grunted.
"There is no treatment for this" Bashir muttered sadly.
"Not if the Captain is affected so badly."
And the bar was silent, not a word was uttered.
"I knew this would happen" Major Kira muttered.
"Don't blame yourself" Jadzia said, "You played your part.
No, No one here is to blame for Brain Farts."
