Here He Comes, Mr Spaceman

The contestants gathered short and tall Two-headed mutants lined the wall Aliens from galaxies far away Rehearsing, should they win, what they would say. Some stood naked, though you couldn’t tell Others wore apparatus and suits so swell I heard one contestant shouting, as he drew his sword, "You will NEVER win the Spaceman Of The Year award!" "I will SO!”, replied the Scorp with one eye, “But since you’re so smart, why not share with me why?” “It’s obvious”, replied the first, clenching his eight fingered fist, "You haven't the love of humanity for it!!!" “What does humanity have to do with this all-alien ball? SpaceMAN is a term that encompasses us all. Humans are not the only special race, Every traveler from space has shown up in this place.” The Phlaglon turned red biting his upper two-lips, The best he could come back with was, "Get OFF my spaceship!" Then the lights started to dim and the spot-light came on, They started to play The Spaceman of the Year, Victory Song. The two aliens stared each other in the eye(s), Each one hoping they would win the prize, But when the announcement was made and the winner was a Grup, They shook their five hands and had a drink to make up.

Joe, this is just hilarious. If I was to project my thoughts on to a wall and show the creatures I have seen as i read your poem, i would be heading for a straight jacket. Mega congratulations on your 5th place in Matt's contest. And i would patent your monster names, or sell them to Spielberg or James Cameron >> James
