Why I didn’t show
While you we’re waiting,
wondering why,
a bright orange light
hovered in the sky.
I starred up amazed eyes open wide
A beam slithered down sucked me up inside
My brain was shocked! I schemed & I pondered
How I’d explain this to you for hours I wondered.
They poked & prodded ran experiments unexplained
I was strapped to a table pure simple & plain
Thier long fingers waved rested on their cranium
Said they didn’t need my blood but were seeking uranium.
They unstrapped my arms unstrapped my legs
Then offered me quite kindly bacon & eggs.
The hatch opened up, I fell from the clouds
These aliens I’d remember as I fell I vowed
This experience was awesome yet spellbinding, & true
though If I had it to do over again I would rather have seen you.
Thier experience left me dazed, dizzy & shocked
I really wasn’t drunk my equilibrium just off.
This excuse is stunning but honey Its true
I would forgive me how about you?
