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
