MAGNIFICATION

MAGNIFICATION Close up, this project is now done That’s what they said an hour ago But it’s so strange what I see here An alien blood cell it would appear I wonder, who else might ever know My research is over before it’s begun Samples taken from what they found The last batch today, maybe forever At high magnification, it can be seen This would make blood quite green I’m just a lab assistant, not so clever Hired after that spaceship was downed But this microscope is state of the art And I can see things moving I’m sure But equipment is soon to be packed And none will know of this, in fact Some liquid leaked out on the floor It’s been sloppy from the very start There’s no-one left for me to tell Just some guys waiting to pack up An alien presence is here on earth A story, and I know what it’s worth I’ll keep this slide safe as a backup Maybe it is a secret that I can sell Reluctantly, I leave the microscope The box of sample slides in my bag They never found any of the crew Just some odd bloodstains, it’s true So I’ve dropped off my identity tag They’ll never trace me now, I hope
