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!
