The Martian and the Leprechaun

A Martian from space lands once a year On St. Patty’s day for green beer But got lost on his way It wasn't a clear day He couldn't see through the clouds to steer He landed in a field full of deer The deer all ran away out of fear The Martian was surprised Couldn't believe his eyes A green leprechaun was sitting there He asked the Martian why he is here While protecting his gold with a sneer He said he came from space To find the green beer place Then both left to find some liquid cheer (9,9,6,6,9 using Syllable counter on PS) 3/14/19 Green Humor Contest Sponsor: Carolyn Devonshire
