All They Wanted Was a Drink!

Two little aliens from Mars, Descended to Earth from the stars. Just wanting a drink, They never did think, Of the panic they caused in the bars! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (© All Rights Reserved) Placed No. 3 in Out Of This World Limerick Contest Co-authored by Vera Selena Hinshaw
