Fact or fiction Mulder Insists look at the evidence aliens exist
Out of the window a shining light when he turns sister out of sight
Xfiles open this is where it starts examining every file looking at every chart
Mulder is united with Dana of course her first assignment to dig up a corpse
Undeterred she follows his lead trying hard not to believe
Looking in the mirror dana gets a fright Mulder reassures her just mosquito bites
Dana’s not sure the science is not there Mulder grunt with a look of despair
Extra-terrestrial one day he will find until then always on his mind
Remembering Samantha, he returns to basement the truth is out there why can’t you face it

The Jury Says Not Guilty
By Elton Camp
The little child had mysteriously disappeared
An obvious suspect then immediately appeared
When an investigator, to get information tries
Most of his questions are answered with lies
That the suspect had a motive was very clear
And when the crime was committed was near
Although nobody actually witnessed the wrong
Circumstantial evidence was especially strong
Then when the jury ultimately voted to acquit
The public in general began to have a big fit
At the decision, derisive laughter broke out
That it was wrong, few had the slightest doubt
But that isn’t the way the American justice works
Without proof it must free even those it thinks jerks
So at the jury the rest of us have no right to sneer
For we weren’t there the complete testimony to hear
(I think she's guilty, so there's no need to tell me to look at the evidence. Still,
however imperfectly, the justice system has made its decision. We must move on.)
