Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a local lady.

"VISITORS !!"

Whilst walking down Treorchy

A week last Thursday night,

I saw a light up in the sky,

Cylindrical and bright.

It swooped to earth before my eyes,

It was a sight to see,

A golden searchlight scanned the street

And ended up on me.

The golden beam turned into steps

That I was forced to climb;

I heard an eerie voice screech out

“This Earthling now is mine!”

The steps led to a crystal room,

Where all around the wall,

Were women just the same as I

All young, all blonde, all tall.

Each one cocooned within a web

Of finely woven thread;

Not one of them could blink an eye,

I thought that they were dead.

Just then, a group of Aliens

Materialised right there,

With heads and faces white as snow,

They sure gave me a scare!

Each had three pairs of skinny arms

Like branches on a tree,

Their eyes were perched on wobbly stalks

And ogled down on me.

Men decked in scarlet Lurex

Skin tight from head to toe,

With purple satin high-heeled boots,

Like in a ‘Vegas’ show.

“I’ll introduce myself,” one cried,

I shook his hands,  (all three...)

He said “I’m Harry Astronaut,

Now you belong to me.

“We’ve come to Earth from deep black space

To find the perfect mate,

We’re taking you back home with us

So we can procreate.

 “If you are good then you will be

Engulfed in silken thread,

Cocooned with those upon the wall,

Asleep, Oh yes!  Not dead...”

He grabbed me tight, I screamed out loud

Then stamped upon his toe,

“Hands off!” I cried then socked him one

And belted for the door.

I was trapped, there was no way out,

Flash Harry hopped my way.

“Do all the women act like you?”

I heard him curtly say.

“Yes!”  I replied.  “Some are much worse!”

He shrank from me with fright

Then rushed back to his alien friends

They huddled up real tight.

There was a lot of chattering,

And then with face turned red,

“Buzz off!”  He said. “We’ve changed our minds.

We’ll take home men instead...”
