Last night, on Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show, the man-who-was-Kirk brought a poetic interpretation to the Alaskan Governor’s farewell speech.

For the O’Brien set up,click here. To read Palin’s full remarks,click here. To see the Palin poem in its proper glory, with line breaks and all, follow me to the jump.
ALSO: Salon’s Alex Koppelmanreminds me that nothing will ever match Shatnerdoing Elton John’s Rocketman.
FINALLY: Since we are already playing this game,here is Leonard Nimoy, aka Spock, singing “Bilbo Baggins.” Really bad.
Alaska, America Soaring By Sarah Palin
America soaring through nature’s finest show
Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then
the extremes.
In the winter time it’s the frozen road that is
competing with the view of ice fogged
frigid beauty.
The cold though, doesn’t it
split
the
Cheechakos
from
the
Sourdoughs?
And then in the summertime
such extreme summertime
about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than
just some months ago,
than just some months from now,
with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers
that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here
Mother Nature
wins.
