Take Me To Your Leader

UFOs have been sighted in Yorkshire, a global hotspot it appears, witnesses, mostly sober to the moors and up over have regularly seen them for years. They all give them various descriptions, some were captured on video tapes, as they hovered and zoomed, no jet sound or smoke plume, and they come in a variety of shapes. Several saw an enormous black cylinder it slowly climbed up, then moved faster, through the clouds it went scudding like a giant black pudding could it be Bolton has it's own NASA? One arrived with three coloured lights, flashing, seems like ET had finally phoned home, as it buzzed the landscape a triangular shape, maybe from the planet Toblerone. Whatever these visual conundra, their existence must convey some meaning, I've seen them, a lot mine are little black dots and they tell me my glasses need cleaning.

So nice to see your light hearted writes, Viv. Just what I needed. I believe I have a Gremlin that just moved in with me. You know, the standard stuff, movement from the corner of my eye, sounds that wake me up at night, scratches on my back. Wait a minute, I had these same symptoms 30 years ago.

Ahhh, yes ! Makes perfect sense now. It seems many need to clean their glasses. Sometimes things are not what they seem. This is thought provoking with a soft touch of humor. Congratulations Viv, on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy

I’m not sure I’d be opposed to visitors from Toblerone as long as they brought lots of it with them. Congratulations on your humorous potd, Viv.

LOL! Dust ghosts, cataracts, ufo contacts— we do indeed see funny things in our old age. My aunt saw figures coming through her walls…hallucinations or was it just that she was closer to death. Love this! Congratulations on POTD!

I see black dots a lot too, they’re not on my spectacles but on my eyes, I’m seeing flies all the time, or UFOs - who knows. Congratulations on poem of the day with this enjoyable write… Belle

Thanks, Belle, I get the squiggly things, too. Something to do with the jelly in your eyeball. A bit annoying :)
