Poem Title:
Poem
“Take us to your leader,” is what they said to me, So I asked them just who it was that they thought that I might be. That stumped them for a moment as they had a little talk, Then they aimed a ray gun at me and said, “It’s time to take a walk.” “I’m not kidding,” I said to them, “I don’t know what you mean, Do you want to meet my wife or the President Martin Sheen?” “We’ve traveled for too many miles so quit acting like a jerk, We’re tired of being pushed around and we want to meet Captain Kirk.” “Oh, I see, well as you must know Captain Kirk is two very busy men, I have to know which one you seek before we can determine when.” “You mean there’s more than one of him? We don’t see how that can be, We thought that he got put back inside his body at the end of season three.” “He did,” I reassured them, “But we’re getting more episodes at last, A new movie series is being filmed and Captain Kirk has been recast.” They just stood there blinking their three eyes. I wasn’t making any sense, And the longer they stood pondering it the more I was growing tense. “So, when the time comes on your planet that someone grows too old, You simply replace them with a younger guy that seems kind of cold.” “I think so too,” I reassured them, “But that’s the way it is, Youth and beauty rule the day when you’re an actor in show biz. The original Captain Kirk had a run that lasted longer than it should,” The little guys just hung their heads but I think that they understood. They all turned and slowly headed back to climb into their ship, Then one of them turned to me and asked, “What about Indy and his whip?” “It isn’t pretty,” I said to them, “Please don’t see The Crystal Skull, It’s not what you’re hoping for and the story is down right dull.” I watched their ship as it flew away and I couldn’t help but feeling sad, A bunch of middle aged aliens just lost the heroes that they’d had. I knew exactly how they felt because no lesson is taught for free, And sometimes I will look around to see who is being cast as me.
