I Killed the Alien (Vacuum)
Dedicated to the Late Sir Lancelot

The alien came out of nowhere
Big and fast and round
Slithering on its belly
With a boastful, angry sound.
*
I sprung into quick action
Always prepared for the worst
I’d show this alien a thing, maybe two
Attack just like I’d always rehearsed.
*
I barked and I barked until out of breath
Bared my teeth and gave a fierce growl
Then I pounced on that alien’s really long neck
Stopping him dead in his tracks with a big howl.
*
My master paused and gave me a smirk
(Of praise cuz I'm savage, of that I am sure);
I stood ever ready between the two
Ensuring my universe stayed all secure.
*
I bit its neck, best to check it was dead
I’d show this alien its rightful spot
Pulling, I moved it to the trash bin
Where I was hellbent it could just rot.
*
Strangely enough, that was my last rescue
My master has banished me to the outside
That damn alien’s enjoying all the comforts of home
While my living conditions have all been downsized.
