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.

Thank you so much, Buddy, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it - I had fun writing it, (despite striking out). Have a great time in The Windy City, and stay safe, OK? I will miss you! :-) <3 - Love, G
