Poem Title:
Poem
First day as the Sheriff and he's feeling real good. Wants to make a difference like any rookie should. Working in a town where boredom grows like grass. He pulls into McWilleys looking for some gas. Attendant checks the oil while he looks at open space. The radio starts a blaring... to head for Miller's place. The Sheriff soon arrives and Widow Miller's looking strained. It seems some men from outer space are playing in her grain. She says, 'When I left the house I thought I heard a noise. I was quite concerned and thought I'd find those pesky Parker boys. But I found concentric circles so I sent the Mayor a tweet. Then I heard a Martian say, 'Sorry Ma'am... for packing down your wheat.' New to the job, you're in for a ride. Fake it till you make it and let your worries slide. If it's soon discovered you haven't any skill. Then get your prettiest girl and run for the hills. The Widow's in a panic but the Sheriff will not yield. Refusing to tell the Mayor there are Aliens in the field. When along comes a truck, just adding to the fear. The rancher yells, 'Them Aliens... is carving up my steers!' Unsure of what to do, the Sheriff takes their names. For trying to trick a rookie and playing silly games. The Sheriff's on the road trying to finish up his day. When cresting Pepper Hill, there's a spaceship in his way. He's going through his options and thinks of turning back. When a Martian taps his window... and his world goes black. He wakes up in a haze and hears a Martian blurt. 'You'd better pucker up boy, this is gonna' hurt.' New to the job, you're in for a ride. Fake it till you make it and let your worries slide. If it's soon discovered you haven't any skill. Then get your prettiest girl and run for the hills. Then get your prettiest girl... and run for the hills. Then get your prettiest girl... and run for the hills. The End *For those who might be interested, I will be posting my new cartoon, 'Bob's Your Uncle, on my homepage every second day.
