My alien liked to read

Under the beautiful fall landscaped tree

He sat engrossed in books, seeming free

Tree limbs swayed, leaves swirled, enjoying a race

And the cool air caressed his enraptured face

So enticing did he find the words

He did not notice me staring, smiling at his verbs

So completely out of place was his appearance

A yellowish green, naked, yet not naked man's happenstance

I smiled. Then tried to introduce myself without much ado

Ahem! "Hello there sir. I see you love books as much as I do"!

He barely moved, just squinted his large eyes in my direction

Then returned to his reading, as if I were an invisible apparition

How rude, I observed, the smile disappearing from my face

Undeterred, I removed my computer from its case

Sat myself flat on the ground nearby

Luckily I had my new Wi-Fi connector, whereby

I connected and commenced to read aloud some Vocal stories

I saw him perk up, he was listening, I wanted no worries

"May I sit by you"? I enquired, emulating wit

He moved a tiny bit, wonderfully, I went to sit

He reached for my laptop and started scanning

Geez, how fast his eyes were panning

In the time I took to squint, he had read a half, so abbreviated

"This is fascinating", he said in 'Alien', which he then translated

He finished the rest in record time,

Appearing quite perplexed, he then asked, so sublime

"Where can I meet this strange farrago and mish-mash of beings,

For surely some need some serious therapy, I am seeing....

Some need love, others I will transport to Vulcana for probing

Some I would like to keep for myself, and others feed to the foraging

Monsterous Kuukklaks on Vulcana".

Oh good grief, I had to jet, quick as my feet could garner

In great alarm, I grabbed my computer and ran for my life

"I know your password". He yelled after me, causing me strife

I am so very sorry guys

Alexixi will be coming for you, my how time flies

He knows about every one of your lives

Darn Internet, it's where we thrive

I wonder who will get probed!

I'm going underground, everything I froze

UGH!
