This is for the Vocal Extraterrestrial Challenge that you can read about here

The Prompt

Write a rhyming poem about the first thing you would introduce to an alien on Earth.

The format I have chosen is a villanelle, I don't know if that will be acceptable.

The music is "Loving The Alien" by David Bowie

"Take Me To Your Leader" Were The Words It Said To Me

As It Walked Down The Slipway From Its Silver Machine

Just Wait A Minute Now, I Got Something You Must See

πŸŒ²πŸ‘½πŸŒ²

Come Closer Now, And I Will Show You My Christmas Tree

With Its Baubles And Tinsel And Its Needles So Green

"Take Me To Your Leader" Were The Words It Said To Me

πŸŒ²πŸ‘½πŸŒ²

The Extraterrestrial Stared, From Its Eyes Light Streamed

The Christmas Tree Was Something It Could Never Believe

Just Wait A Minute Now, I Got Something You Must See

πŸŒ²πŸ‘½πŸŒ²

Then It Saw More, The Christmas Presents Beneath The Tree

Shiny Silver Wrapping Paper, In The Light, Did Gleam

"Take Me To Your Leader" Were The Words It Said To Me

πŸŒ²πŸ‘½πŸŒ²

Alien Fascination For The Pleasures Earthly

It Reached Out To Touch, Its Own Christmas Present Retrieved

Just Wait A Minute Now, I Got Something You Must See

πŸŒ²πŸ‘½πŸŒ²

With All That I Had Shown It, The Alien Thankfully

Showed Me Gratitude With A Gift That Did Glow And Gleam

"Take Me To Your Leader" Were The Words It Said To Me

Just Wait A Minute Now, I Got Something You Must See
