The Outstanding Story
Standing out in a field of outstanding corn
Swish found herself standing in line for the outhouse,
which was located way out in the back forty.
It actually stood in the middle of a corn row crop circle
Also in the line for the loo was an alien who was outstandingly blue.
Swish was too shy to engage him in conversation,
Wishing his far-out-ness would leave in a spaceship
He thought Swish's shyness was outstandingly endearing however
And decided to stay until she decided to speak to him.
Not realizing her shyness was not the only thing standing in the way
Her thinking was not far out, so she had closed her mind to him.
An outstanding story to tell their grandchildren, but alas, he left
in his rocket ship before she could warm up to him.
She was standing in the middle of the crop circle,
Denying it had happened, not realizing she had missed a soulmate.
