Chocolate Cake Clue

All space aliens are Scarlett Johansson
With pitch black hair and consuming eyes
Looking pretty in their new found skin
The clue is they hate dark chocolate cake
Served at restaurants when dining out from outer space

Extraterrestrials leave home for Scotland
And only speak to strangers with accents
They keep men in storage in thick liquid
Aliens take long walks on isolated beaches
Along bogs, in fog and damp green forests 
Where raindrops fall hard and wet and cold
There is nothing strange about that
The UK gets a lot of aliens this time of year
People who speak a language fluid in English
And end up in a mystery just as thick 


Authors Note:  This poem was inspired by the movie “Under The Skin” 
starring Scarlett Johansson.  Yum!

Hi Jan, Thanks! It is a very disjointed, disturbing, dark film screaming for direction. Even strange films should make some sense. Scarlett's best work is Lucy. That is a brilliant movie. Take care, Earl
