I FELL IN LOVE WITH AN ALIEN

By The Urban Poet 

I fell in love with an Alien from Mars

I met her one Sunday in the local park

She just sauntered over, made

a strange sounding noise,

but the thing had class,

and seemed to fancy the boys.

 

In a language that, I didn’t understand 

She made a proposition, I rejected out of hand

She wanted me to be her personal clone

So I ran off like a sprinter, all the way home

 

I sat in my bedroom, I was in the clear

but then a tentacle appeared with

a can of cold beer

She’d tracked me down with her inbuilt radar, like a scene in a film with that Darth-Vada

 

It soon became clear that she wanted me

No, not for my body, but for me poetry

I fell head over heels, that did it for me,

so we loaded up the truck and moved

to Beverley, (Yorkshire that is),

black coal, Tetley’s tea.

 

Well we tried to settle down in our new

space house, but the neighbours complained,

what was that all about?

They said they couldn’t cope

with the way she looked, or the slime she left

when she got off the bus.

 

Folk can be cruel at the best of times,

so she ended up drinking gallons of wine,

to blot out all the comments,

she usually drank water,

Then she packed her space suit

and got in her flying saucer.

 

The end of an unusual relationship for me

I can now drink coffee instead of Martian tea

So the moral of the story, don’t go to the park

Or you might end up with an alien from Mars!
