50th Anniversary: The Trouble With Tribbles

It was 50 years ago today that "The Trouble With Tribbles" -- an episode of Star Trek -- first aired. In honor of that, I hope I can be forgiven for putting a limerick in the mouth of Montgomery Scott:  

There once were wee creatures called tribbles

That wreaked havoc with endless nibbles

  They ate triticale

  And gorged themselves daily

And turned the seed grain into kibbles

Here's to Classic Trek!
