Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Alien Invasion - For Contest

Two martians they landed on earth 
Most earthlings gave them a wide berth 
A photo was taken
The image is makin’
a fortune - just think of its worth!

Contest Write with the wit of Twain – Andrea Dietrich
06~19~15

If they had not landed there would be some reason for celebrating the fact.
Mark Twain
