The Janitor

Joe the janitor,
was working at area 51,
as usual till
there was no more sun, 
when suddenly the power went out,
got a flashlight from his janitor cart,
and quickly finished mopping the floor...
Noticing the now unlocked
highly classified door,
knew he shouldn't go in,
but his curiosity did win,
and saw a martian laying there,
when a fly buzzed right past him,
and Joe brought some
canned bug spray in,
where he chased and sprayed
till the fly was no more...
Then the martian opened his
bulging fly like eyes,
and to Joe's surprise,
quickly fled out the door,
where he got in a waiting UFO...
The very next day,
the president came on the air
to say,
"We are now at war with martians,
thanks to a janitor,
who ignited anger,
by spraying one yesterday
with Black Flag bug spray!"
