A Three Hour Tour

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this orb of ours
Aboard this small starship.

The mate was an adequate person,
The skipper was brave but quite unsure.
Five passengers set off that day
For a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour.

The voyage was unusually turbulent
And the tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the wherewithal and fortuitous arrival
and intervention of the non-Terran ship
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.

The ship set ground on the planet Lesbos in the capital city of Sappho...

The crew members and passengers huddled in fear and confusion. A slim, attractive woman approached; dressed in what almost appeared to be a costume from a 1950s space movie.

She held her hands out in a mixture of welcome and caution.

"My dears. All will be explained. I am truly sorry, but in rescuing your ship from destruction, we were forced to beam you aboard via our personnel transporter..." She paused as the seven looked at each other in almost anticipation of her next words.

"The transporter seems to have reconstructed the DNA of your male crew members. which my Science advisor tells me is irreversible. Your females, inexplicably, were not affected, other than that all seven of you are now at the age of what you might call just past adolescence." Her words were followed by gasps and even an odd cooing from one of the newly transformed and now female members of the party.

"As you must have noticed, due to the apposing refraction of light through our atmosphere from our triplet suns, no color appears on our planet; leaving everything in what your ancestors referred to as glorious black and white." More gasps!

"You, of course, are quite welcome to remain here, but our society is strictly female-to-female, as we simply evolved to a state of girls-only, to use your vernacular. Transportation to your home planet is possible but even allowing for the occasional wormhole. bending of space, and traveling at Ultra Light Speed, your planet will have cycled through hundreds of what you call years."

More gasps and a breathy sigh or two came from the tallest woman of the original females as she sidled to the now-nubile Professor.

Meanwhile, the two once-elderly passengers acted like newlyweds while the former captain of the Minnow just stared in awe.

The shortest of the original females grabbed the arm of the now-female first mate. She squealed in delight as she kissed the new girl, evoking a shudder and a shout...
