Space Boy Looked Harmless

space policeman Sam knew the creature was a possible alien that day
But he was having a chocolate malt shake, so what the hey
Besides, he was young, and looked harmless, this space boy
Sam watched him open cracker jacks and pull out a toy

He offered it to Sam, which showed that he was polite
How could he put this young alien into jail that night?
Sam and the soda jerk gave each other a weird look.
Finding this sweet alien lad here, had Sam truly shook.
