A Flying Saucer Landed

A flying saucer landed In a farmer's fallow field. It had come from far away, Beyond Orion's starry shield. The aliens were mystified. They giggled and they squealed. The cows were in the pasture, Chewing on their cud. They watched the flying saucer As it landed in the mud. They bellowed as the hatchway Descended with a thud. The farmer drove his tractor Beside tall stalks of corn. A flock of crows erupted When he tooted on his horn. They flew inside the spaceship On that cool September morn. The aliens were studying The farmer's dairy herd. They saw their craft invaded By the band of big black birds. Legs retracted, hatchway shut! The flying saucer whirred! The moral of this story Is very plain to see. It will be written down somewhere In Alien History. ALWAYS SHUT THE CABIN DOOR, AND DON'T FORGET THE KEY!
