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!!
