I met new friends today
Ones from far, far away
We laughed in different languages
Smiled in unfamiliar ways
Felt the air around us buzz
With an electric fuzz
~
Today I stood with a welcoming party
Waiting for our destiny
To arrive
Never feeling as alive
As I did, when they came on this once-in-a-lifetime occasion
I carried in my heart the prayers of an entire nation
I stepped forward with an offering of trust to our new friends
In an olive branch, I held inside timid hands
~
What the
Who the
The slimy tosser just dripped goo all over my fingers
These ugly stick culprits look like dead ringers
For E.T.
Somebody get Elliot
OMG, a chuckle almost escapes my lips
No, don't let Marvin the Martian see your guns
WELCOME, we greet you in grease!
WAIT, we welcome you in peace!
What, it's not my fault, their skin is so slimy
I know, I know on with the plan, get the grimy
Green wankers
~
Today I stood with new friends
Looking out across all of Earth's beauty
Offering the best of humanity
In the light of a new dawn breaking
In the hope of a new future shining
~
The first piece of us I shared
To show how much we cared
The first gift, I gave our new friends
Our new closest allies
Was our ability to deceive
~
Poor not of this world beings... so naive
Somebody get the popcorn
The show's about to begin
This week on Alien Autopsy,
Real Aliens
I'm Kidding, we're the government
This will be kept silent
Does anybody know how to fly a UFO
I really want to fly the UFO
Come on, Johnson
Okay, Johnson
Ewww, their blood is green too
Johnson, their insides smell like poo

Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.

Well. i have missed A LOT over here. Remember the aliens are listening, don't give them ideas. So funny. I wonder what we will smell like to them.
This is amazing, Will!! Really love this humor and rhyme of this. 🤗❤️ Really fun, awesome entry! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for awhile - I will be back ton catch up on more of your amazing work soon!! 🥹❤️
Hilariously written!!! The laughter over your rhyming and humorous poem was needed on this Sunday!
This was hilarious because it is so true! I like the way you snuck a little bit of the uncomfortable truth in on that spoon full of sugar! Great job!
Laughed all the way through it. Great job!
Hahahah! I love the narrative voices you chose for this and the shifting perspectives, although similar one had a slightly more comedic touch to it!! This was so well written!! I think my favourite entry to this challenge so far!!
so fun!
Thank you , Will . I needed a laugh and this did it 😂😂😂

Haha, that ah ha moment was stinky! Hilarious ending too, but I loved ‘green wankers’! 😊

Hi-i ~ Ah, Popcorn Poo via Green Wankers ~ 'j'
Lol. Great job on this one.
I laughed out loud at the ending! I had to reread it a few times just to laugh all over again. Thank you for sharing.
I've gotta say this is probably closer to reality than most of what the rest of us have written. Sad to say, but true.
Good very good. I love the rhythm and the rhymes. Cleverly written. Great job Will.
Oh, this is a Great Piece for the challenge 😂👌💯💚👽
Oooooh this took a turn!! 🫣 🤣Lol’d for sure at “I'm Kidding, we're the government This will be kept silent” This is how it would probably go down! 😩
