The List of Alien Objects For Q

Make a list of objects worthy of merit
They must sparkle in the dark
Glow in the light of day
And cost you your life if lost

No diamonds or gold permitted
Fossils are prohibited from all lists
Only things from alien worlds will do
Coded and wet in small letters

Get started right now
And when you are through
Submit the list in triplicate
Go to the next general in compartment Q

Big ideas will be extinguished there
If you are not included in the paper
It is no big deal
We will handle you and the list later
It’s an alien thing

Hi Jan. Thanks! I know that my works are probably too eclectic and stretch the envelop of conventional thought but I'm ok with that. I hope that some people will find some merit and take some pleasure in my creations. I hope things are good with you. Have a wonderful day. Take care. Earl
