    Lockboxes are quite economical,
    You can stuff in quantities astronomical,
    So a question I submit,
    How many Klingons could you fit,
    Without it seeming too comical?

    There once was a thing called a lockbox
    They said the ship inside really rocks
    But how to get it, I asked
    Their answer left me aghast
    A 1 in 200 chance, oh Cryptic, you clever fox

    There once was a game about Star Trek
    Built with technology exceeding that of a tape deck
    With lockboxs a plenty
    I just spent another twenty
    I should simply write Cryptic a blank check

    Inside my lockbox was a Tribble
    Of my Feline Supplement 74 it ate just a nibble
    But soon I had two
    Then into millions it grew!
    Alright, just a dozen, let's not quibble

    There once was a lock box from STO
    Which had a lid that just wouldn't blow
    So to open it's top
    Data took out a mop
    And Picard with a yell said make it so.

    There once was a lock box from STO
    Which had a lid that just wouldn't blow
    So to open its case
    Data beamed it to space
    And Picard said fire photon torpedoes

    Lockboxes lockboxes lockboxes...they all love their lockboxes.
    But what they dont know about their lockboxes, is that when you send an insane person to a lockbox, you're just sending him home!
    The very place he knows best.
    *(Maniac laugh)*
    Seeing as I'm feeling generous, here's a free key!

    There once was this guy from the Baltic
    whose lack of luck gets dramatic
    he was wishing so bad
    that this Vessel he had
    that this chance just made him ecstatic.

    My hopes and dreams, like my old blue Jeans
    now rest in a box with lock and a key,
    now i don't have the key, yes, how poor of me,
    but someday, I might get lucky.

    I once was rich, but now live in a ditch,
    because of you keys I've been sliced at the knees,
    so now I am poor, and live on my floor,
    I'm dime less, and yes, its happened before.


    Every time i open a lox box i say a little prayer that goes something like this:
    You wonderful box, be gentle to me,
    give me your goodies, and wonderful toys,
    i will cherish them always, like two little boys.
    i love you doffs and much enjoy your lobis, but i have to say,
    i would much prefer a mobius.

    Lockboxes are truly fantastical
    With prizes that are downright magical
    With a ship to win
    Sure I'll give it a spin
    Sadly the odds are astronomical

    I find it rather ironical
    That my Lockbox is missing something so canonical
    A Tribble to Win!
    That would make me grin
    Lockboxes stuffed with tribbles is only logical

    It is time to give out the prize
    So hard to choose just one of you guys,
    But one is the best
    Its ahead of the rest
    But for now it will remain a surprise.


    i must touch base with my favourite before i say whose it is, if they permit me. That said, my largess will not be limited to just one. I would like to chat with several of you...

    Oh it's been fun
    Good luck to everyone
    The competition was hard
    And God knows I'm no bard
    But still, I hope I won

    Oh No A Lockbox

    Once there was a game,
    where all the Klingons did blame,
    the federation type,
    with all of their might,
    in PvP they did fight,

    until set it stone,
    the lockbox on his throne,
    he gave us no reason,
    to commit treason,
    until there was a ship to be won,

    Captains in their hundreds,
    lined up with their credit card numbers,
    to obtain a special key,
    so that the Klingons would flee,
    with a ship so grand,
    paid with money in hand,

    when the Klingons turned around,
    lockboxes where suddenly bound,
    all those in favour,
    complained without flavour,
    lobi crystals where created,
    and so duely hated,
    another shiny toy,
    sealed within a ploy,

    Oh No A Lockbox.

    A lockbox is a fine thing,
    More precious to me,
    Than a diamond ring.

    Though one thing is for certain,
    When I pull back the curtain,
    I want to find a Temporal Destroyer,
    Or I?m hiring a Ferengi Lawyer.

    I will use this ship,
    To bring the Klingons pain,
    And cast down upon them,
    an antiproton rain.

    I shall hang their ridges on my wall,
    and make sure not to fall,
    In the pile of their bestial remains,
    That I keep next to my LCARS games.

    The model of a Starfleet captain I am not,
    I don?t even have a pale skinned robot,
    What I do have however are proton torpedoes,
    And I will aim them at Klingon Libidos.

    So glory be,
    Gift me with this ship,
    I will even give you a modest tip.

    But know this,
    Before you do,
    My name is @Clustyproton,
    And im coming for you!
