Poem
He was not green not green at all Trim and slim he was rather tall His skin was more of a reddish-brown His hair was pitch black with a pointed crown Pleasant enough of a fellow I suppose We notice each foot had just three toes His hands were large and his fingers long He was nice and pleasing but just did not belong His voice was high pitch but sounded soft The dust in the air made him sneeze and cough His body seemed smooth no hair on sight He enjoyed the shade and avoided direct sunlight Large oval emerald embers of purest sight His eyes had transparent lenses that for him seem right If he looked at you and blinked his lens then eyes You stood staring back hypnotize strangely paralyzed His stomach was flat with the belly button gone To us earth kids that was just plain wrong His legs were long and skinny and seem to shine We thought his skin secreted a secret slim He was nice enough and always learned fast Academically he surged to the head of the class He excelled in computers science and math When he smiled the girls blushed the boys laughed He tried to be friendly but would not play outside His tiny nose always in a book he became ostracize Always helping teachers he became their favorite pet When we saw his tail he was dubbed Martian Rat His ears were almost nonexistent but hearing keen He heard our thoughts he knew everything We plotted to get him outside and whip his butt But he knew our every move so we finally gave up Slowly but surely we all came around And he became the most popular boy in town He told tales of heroes slaying dragons of Mars He told journeys and dreams beyond the stars He never liked winter hated the snow The poor boy just really couldn't handle the cold Summers and falls to him seem all right Spring with thunder storms gave him the fright He was the first boy amongst us to kiss a girl Hot Holly by golly gave him a whirl We all played indoors to be by his side The feelings of yesterday we all denied Than just like that Yarn was gone His family went back to were they belong We felt betrayed and misunderstood We lost a friend and did the best we could Late at night a group of us looked up to the sky Was Yarn looking down to us from way up high? Worlds apart but we become close yet he left so far We miss our friend two big hearts within the boy from Mars
