I can't resist the well-turned pun (or the truly bad one for that matter), and this one is a beauty - well, it made me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh too ... especially if you're Mark H. I had prepared a sound file, but couldn't find a way to reduce it to a reasonable size, so you're spared me an' my mouth organ.
DISCLAIMER: Kashyk is ©Paramount. The tune of Men of Harlech is by that prolific composer, Trad. He is often to be found collaborating with the equally prolific lyricist, Anon. There are several sets of lyrics; the words I learnt as a child are by John Oxenford, and you can read them here. These words are ©me (Tricia Donovan) 2000.

Oh, Mark Harelik, we adore you
And we hope it doesn't bore you.
Please excuse us, we implore you,
For the way we feel.
We are Trekkers,
Seasoned viewers;
Guest stars rarely do this to us,
But it took you to undo us
And our hearts to steal.
Devious Kashyk's action
Prompted this reaction.
When he kissed the Captain's lips
It drove us to distraction.
Music maker, actor, playwright!
You have made our humdrum lives bright.
May your star long shed its clear light --
Our heartfelt appeal.
