A Martian Fright

When first we landed and quickly saw What looked like Larry's mother-in-law It just had to be Anyone could see It had good old mom's receding jaw With Apologies to Larry Belt and his mother-in-law

Oh, Barbara, I LOVE this. Is it for Carolyn's contest. All I could come up with was Michael Myers from Halloween. But what a stupid story I had to invent for him being on Mars!!
