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
