An Alien! 

by Rebecca Valentino

An Alien! An Alien! 

I think I saw an Alien! 

Zoomin’ round this big old town 

In a big C’Zalien! 

It was long and it was wide 

Zigging zagging side to side 

Once it stopped above my head 

And fast as lightning off I sped 

Then it landed near my house 

And scared away our house pet mouse 

The mouse he ran between the trees 

And I was soon weak in my knees 

I was so scared I thought I’d cry 

AND THEN I SAW A GIANT EYE 

Peeking through a crack at me 

I suddenly began to SCREAM! 

“What is it dear, what could be wrong?” 

(My momma’s voice was like a song) 

“Oh nothing Mom, I was just dreaming!” 

THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK, NOW WE’RE LEAVING.
