I Killed the Alien (Vacuum)

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.
