Notes About The Poem

Take Me To Your Leader

Here I stand on sands, bizarre
Across the void, I've traveled far
Take me to your leader!

Time, The Constant, slowly wind
The "Way of Milk" thus left behind
Take me to your leader!

Deep, I've plunged a sea of suns
While on, the core forever runs
Take me to your leader!

I am so much NOT not like you
Yet, I've come - a cosmic coup
Take me to your leader!

Wait a moment, that's not right
I've come to you without a fight
To meet your honored leader!

Please don't tie my hands and feet
Trust me, I'm no good to eat ...
Take me to your leader!

I beg of you, I'm no sweet fryer ...
Ouch! The flames are getting higher!
Take me to your leader!

(Silent now, and on a plate ...
Alien spiced, and tasting great -
They take him ... to their leader)

Thank you so much, my friend! I actually read the short story before I saw the episode, (being a sci-fi freak since I was a child), and just ADORED it, (especially the word-play and gross misunderstanding - that crazy twist, haha!). So pleased you enjoyed my little adaptation! :-)

wow, this is amazingly good. TASTY!!! Thanks so much for my win in your contest, Greg. I will be in Chicago for three days after tomorrow. So I won't be ignoring you. I will have to ignore everyone (I am no good with cell phone internet). I am gonna get SO behind here.
