Spock's poetry: Maiden Wine[]
The episode article claims Nimoy "composed" this song, whereas this article says he "wrote" it. Usually, the verb "write" refers to lyrics, "compose" to tune. If both lyrics and tune are by Nimoy, both articles should reflect this. -- Leonard James Akaar 01:57, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
(from Talk:Plato's Stepchildren (episode))
- Take care, young ladies, and value your wine
- Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime
- Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs
- Then swiftly be gone
- Leaving bitter dregs
- Ahh-ah-ah-ah
- Bitter dregs
- With smiling words and tender touch
- Man offers little and asks for so much
- He loves in the breathless excitement of night
- Then leaves with your treasure
- In cold morning light
- Ahh-ah-ah-ah
- In cold morning light
- I read somewhere a long time ago that Leonard Nimoy penned the words to that poem, and that it appears in one of his books pf poetry. But I can't find any reference. — Loadmaster 00:23, November 20, 2011 (UTC)
- He sings it (with a slightly different musical theme) on his studio album The Touch of Leonard Nimoy (1969), which seems to imply that he did indeed write it. — Loadmaster 00:28, November 20, 2011 (UTC)
