"Saturn Rings" was a nonsense poem that Charles Evans once psychokinetically forced Lieutenant Commander Spock to recite, while Evans was taking command of the USS Enterprise in 2266. The poem stated, "Saturn rings around my head, down a road that's Martian red." (TOS: "Charlie X")

In the final draft script of "Charlie X", this poem was longer, having four lines instead of two. These were:
Saturn's rings upon my finger
Vulcan's helmet on my head.
Jupiter's chariot 'neath my feet
Down the road that's Martian red.
