Phlox’s Menagerie aka The Sickbay Song

Based on Star Trek: Enterprise, and written as part of Sickbay Month on Fanfiction.net

We are Phlox’s menagerie
A million little odd things to see
Leaches and beetles
And a bat at play
And we’ve just got
One thing to say –

Come to sickbay
See the sights
Phlox will get you
Patched up right
It may feel strange
Give you a fright
But you’ll be fine
By the end of the night

We are Phlox’s menagerie
Including one Lyssarian Larvae
Our Osmotic eel likes
To clean wounds good
You put up with us
‘Cause you know you should

Come to sickbay
Stay a while
Phlox will give you
A scary smile
But there’s no need
To run a mile
Just lay back
He’ll treat you in style

We are Phlox’s menagerie
So much better than TLC
We may look strange
But we do alright
The fear will keep you
Up all night

Come to sickbay
If you are blue
Phlox will stick
Something on you
He will know
Just what to do
And let some creatures
Play with you

We are Phlox’s menagerie
We sense sick people and we wiggle for glee
We’re locked in our cages
Wanna do our thing
So if you’re sick
Here is what we sing –

Come to sickbay
Don’t run away…

Hey, come back! We thought you were sick!
