Uncle Martin
This strange creature ascended to earth from the stars.
He came from our nearby planet neighbor called Mars.
Ordinarily, he looks much like you or me,
except that, he has retractable antennae.
Arrival on earth was quite fortunate for him.
He became acquainted with an earthman named Tim.
This alien has powers we can’t imagine.
Tim simply refers to him as “Uncle Martin”.
This is Tim’s secret nobody will ever know.
There are funny situations in every show.
