Aliens

I've always had an open mind.
Who really can say, who, or what, we may find?
I have proof, a strange thing happened to me.
Something that I knew, just couldn't be.
I began noticing so many strange, unique things.
It had to be on account of unknown beings.
For one, I never used to forget.
I just know, they put some kind of chip in my neck.
It's like they control my entire body.
What's strangest of all, they are impossible to see.
They are making gray hairs begin to grow.
I know it's them, I've seen all the shows.
One day I was looking in the mirror.
I couldn't believe my own eyes.
A creature so unlike me, how did that Alien get inside?
After all that couldn't be my backside.
Imagine my surprise!

    LOL. You have a sense of humor. . .
    you've showed me much of your wisdom in most of the writes that I've read from you. The aging process for me is naturtally scary but there is nothing we can do but embrace it like we embrace life.

    I like the humor in this piece... there is some truth mixed in it. Best of luck with everything.
    Blessed be
    Blanche

      I tell you, never mind them being out there, they're already here.
      Aging is so very strange, the older you get the faster it seems to go. Actually death doesn't scare me very much, but getting older bothers me more. I guess that's my faith talking, I know this isn't all there is, so life doesn't end, it just changes. I'm more afraid of being old, tied to a chair, knowing no one, or being hooked up to all sorts of things. Thanks again, Connie

    Hahaha! The aliens are making gray hairs and a "big?" backside? Always good to blame someone else for our aging process. Cute and funny. The rhyme scheme could use a little fine tuning, seems to rhyme sometimes and not others, which breaks up the flow, for me at least.

    Example:

    I watch as the gray hair grows
    I know it's them, I've seen all the shows

    still indicates that they are making the gray hairs grow.

    forget and neck don't truly rhyme... maybe something like this...

    I never used to forget, what the heck?!
    I just know, they put some kind of chip in my neck

    Just ideas to make it flow better, but again it's cute and funny.

      Thanks,

      thanks for the input, and the read. I appreciate your comments, but
      I'll probably leave it like it is. I don't really try for anything, other than a message, but I do appreciate it. Thanks again, Connie

      Thanks.

      I was trying to understand what was going on, and it was easier accepting that Aliens did it. Connie
