As I was going for a walk,
When I turned the next block,
Under the night sky
With no insects not even a firefly,
I saw underneath the moon,
In a tree something like a giant cocoon.
It breathed and pulsed and vibrated,
I know at this time I was not inebriated.
Out popped out a thin green being,
I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
He glared at me with big bulging eyes,
And spoke in a tongue that oddly I could devise.
I pulled my phone and played some tunes,
He danced then pulled me in a spoons.
We sat watching videos on my phone,
Ignored the overhead spying drone.
When my phone ended up dying,
This poor alien started crying.
He communicated that he missed his home,
Not knowing what to do I welcomed him into my own.
The next day the villagers had him slain,
My plan to attract a new friend was in vain.
There were monsters in the world that is true,
But it was not the one from outer space, they were me and you.
