My Alien With a Cat's Face

From a planet which must be more fun
than the one called “Third Rock from the Sun,”
came an alien that
had the face of a cat.
In his hands he was holding a stun gun!

“Constellations -for eternity-
In a spaceship I’ve traveled,” said he.
“Though I look like a dork,
I could be a cool Mork!
May I stay? Will you be my Mindy?”

“So you know 80’s sitcoms!” said I.
“You sure are an interesting guy.”
“Yes, he said, “Earth’s TV,
with my technology, I can watch anytime that I fly!”

With this cool alien I now dwell,
and we both get along very well.
He’s no need for his gun,
for with me he has fun
watching shows that we both think are swell.

And we’ve flown now to many a place
like the moon and around all of space.
This guy from afar
is my SUPER STAR.
He’s my alien with a cat’s face.

A fun little piece of silliness that shows your creative mind at work. The limerick is a good form for this style of writing. It's nearly impossible to write a serious limerick!

In a historical eye, this guy may have come from the Kingdom of Bastet, the ancient Egyptian cat goddess, lol. A very interesting piece Andrea! <3 <3 ^_^

Very neat, creative and funny poem Andrea. I enjoyed it very much. The Hosanna poem was from the Jesus Christ Superstar album 1973. Great version and YouTube has it all.
