One-Eyed Alien At the Wheel

Unidentified spaceship spotted over Kansas field
   One-eyed, antenna-crowned alien at the wheel
Cows stop their grazing to glance its way
   ZAP! -- Nothing left in the field but bundles of hay

Wide-eyed farmers swallow the tobacco in their craws
   As above crows circle madly, 'midst startled caws
The ship's underside glows orange, white and blue
   The President's skin turn greens when it come into view

The pics now go viral, the USA's on high alert
   While out in the field, farmers cower in the dirt
Then just as the aliens emerge from their ship
   My plane lands-- I wake up: It's the end of my trip

I wanted more on the President's green skin but alas, you ended it. I always picture his skin as orange.

I thought that I'd color the flag i/o red, and the President's skin green, 'cos he's like a big snake in the grass. Oh, well. :) gw

That is so funny, although I imagine it wasn't at the time... Hey, make it a poem. It's a great story, Stan. Best wishes, Gershon
