A Close Encounter

 

 

 

 

 

I know you won't believe me
I wish I had some proof
but everyone I tell it to
they think that it's a spoof

 

 

I swear it happened yesterday
a beam of light came down
So bright it made me dizzy
why, it took me off the ground

 

 

Sprawled out on a counter
a light shone in my face
My underside made public
...much to my disgrace

 

 

Last thing I remember
a finger long and white
My eyes closed to protect me
for I didn't want hindsight

 

 

It entered into places
no man has gone before
And when I thought him finished
he went on back for more

 

 

So here I stand before you
no proof to back my claim
I really can't pinpoint it
but I just dont feel the same

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He claims he was abducted....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

I took this photo of a raccoon in my yard....

    The fly all the way from Mars.!!

    Well that was an adventure that really lit my eyes.. my goodness what an experience sounds like a visit to the Urologist ..... mine has short stubby fingers abd has to virtually punch his way in... I love this site .. now I am learning gynaecology and Urology all at the same time.
    Bazza
    PS Let me know next time you have had another visit ... do they take bookings ?? but what a great way to make my mother-in-law happy (then she will stop bashing me with her broom)
    Brilliant rhyme, flow, story and original idea.

    Yes sir, it happen over thar,
    I will swear it did.
    Big as life, I sees this here saucer land.
    I gots scared... and hid

    But I was wrong to worry,
    'Cause I didn't understand
    That these aliens was out for 'coon that night
    And I witnessed it firsthand.

    I glanced back o'er my shoulder
    And suddenly lost my fright,
    As they followed this raccoon around
    And lit him with their light.

    The 'coon tried to out run them,
    Then stopped and seemed confound.
    He was frozen stiff right in his tracks
    As six aliens done beamed down.

    One had this here anal probe
    That he stuck deep down in 'coon's crack.
    While the others laughed and danced entranced
    Old 'coon just arched his back.

    The animal's eyes took on a mutant glow,
    That the dark further enhanced
    They got brighter with every single inch
    The anal probe advanced.

    'Til finally, they was blazing
    And the 'coon began to flinch
    It reared and bit the closest one
    Then took off and jumped the fence.

    The Aliens seemed disappointed,
    As though they lost their fun.
    They kept waving that probe in the air,
    So I figured it best to run.

    To this here day I notice,
    That 'coon still has the stare
    Of the very devil in his eyes

    And a sore derrière.


    Another fine fun read Wil, no butts about it

    thank the lord that you can communicate
    and understand the racoon's plight,
    it's plainly still within his sight
    of all that he had to endure,
    oh how must he feel after this raw deal
    is quite beyond me to summize,
    but it proves once more
    that there are things in the sky
    that we had best not to probe,
    for this lesson for the creature
    should it happen to us too
    could become an alien feature
    and aired in an extra terristrial zoo!

    Apologies for the crime-rhyme wil
    but this is blisteringly funny,
    you really are a poetic tonic

    I accidentally clicked on this in the feature box... so I figured "Ohhh no... well I must read and leave a comment." I think it was fate instead, very entertaining poem... and I enjoyed it very much.

    "Last thing I remember
    a finger long and white
    My eyes closed to protect me
    for I didn't want hindsight"

    Hilarious! Nice write!

    Too cute ...... Loved it
    Perfect rhyme and rhythm as always.
    Remember this


    My raccoon was abducted
    By aliens, so they say
    They fed him Martian mushy peas
    Which glowed the Martian way

    They kept him there till Friday
    To see what he would do
    They showed him glowing TV
    With glowing adverts too

    Now Martian food is all the same,
    just glowing mushy peas
    Served on glowing mushy plates
    for breakfast , lunch, and teas

    But Martian peas have strange effects
    As earthly Raccoons know
    Just watch this 'critter' when its dark
    You'll see his peepers glow…..

    When Aliens come to meet us

    When Aliens come to meet us
    It is polite to greet us
    In the galactic standard way to say "Good Day"
    The way the greeting goes
    Keeps the natives on their toes
    Shaking hands and speaking ain't the way
    First you shine a shiny light
    That will make day from the night
    And make sure you've dazzled everyone around
    Then take your probe out from its tin
    And shove it forcibly within
    While your victims lying stunned upon the ground
    If you are a naked ape
    Then this greeting is called rape
    And it isn't quite the greeting that we crave
    But for green eyed bugs from mars
    Or from very distant stars
    It's the only proper way you can behave!

    Very clever and funny! I personally think he WAS abducted ... just look at his eyes. The aliens must have switched his eyes with tiny headlights. Now he can shine his lights on humans to make them easier to catch! I feel his pain ... nobody ever believes you when you claim to have been abducted. But finally, I think he holds the proof!! I'm keeping my eyes peeled for others with glowing eyes ... Perhaps they are scouts for an impending invasion?

    This "encounter" would be too close for comfort for me..hehe. You never fail to amuse me. You always get me smiling. Thank you for the morning chuckle. This was a humorous, delightful read. I love the picture too. The raccoon looks a little possessed with those eyes.

    Sounds like quite a night of passion to me.Or some drunken dream. A wonderful flowing rhyme. As ever you always leave me wanting more.You must send me an image once the gestation period is over I would love to see what a new born alien looks like Is this the reason for the name change Trying to keep anonymous?
