Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Space Frontiersman

James Noonan, the actor by name,
Was best known in his "Scotty" role,
Of "beam me up" Star Trek fame.
Chief engineer with heart and soul,
Forever, Scotty will live on
Aboard the Enterprise rerun.
But sadly, Mr. Noonan's gone,
And a final request was done.
A rocket hurtled into space,
With the actor's ashes on board,
To have a final resting place
In the beyonds yet unexplored.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Scotty got one more engine thrust.
