Tales From New Mexico

I’m Very Intrigued By Strange, Eerie Tales,

So, I Might As Well Add This One, To The List;

Although I’m Quite Sure That It Will Jeopardize,

Mean Tall Woman’s Nearly Always, Marital Bliss.

 

 

“The Truth Is Out There.”

 

Agent Fox Mulder – The X-Files

 

 

It was 62 years ago, today

On July 8th, in the year, 1947

That a mysterious flying saucer

Fell, from the very vast heavens

 

This ‘other world’ craft had crashed

On a ranch down in old New Mexico

And today, hundreds still flock there

To the yearly ‘Alien Festival,’ they go

 

When I had first met my very lovely wife

I discovered that she was ‘born’ near Roswell

At approximately the same time, as this incident

And each year about this time, on this, I now dwell

 

She has dragged me down to the Alien Festival

I have often questioned her Dad, about that day

I’m convinced he did a ‘Pa Kent’ and rescued her

From the strange craft, that crashed down his way

 

Her father would always just chuckle, and wink

And, she would always get so very danged, upset

But I’m convinced that she still contacts another world

And I’ve vowed to get to the bottom of this mystery yet

 

When I question her about it she gives me a very sly grin,

And proclaims, “Little Big Man, you’re as crazy as a loon;

Don’t you know that the Air Force, and the government,

Made a mistake, and it was really just, a weather balloon?!”

 

And Right Now, I’d Better Go Hide Out In My Old Shed;

If She Reads This, She May Zap Me With Her Laser Gun,

And My Pets Would Surely Miss Me, If I Were Soon Dead.

 

Is My Spouse, an Apache, or an Alien?

This Eerie Mystery, Never Seems to End.

 

And, The Truth Is Still Out There…

 

 

©2009, Old Mr. Ed,

A Huge Fan of Strange Tales

 
      The Roswell Alien Festival

Love your poetic tales from "wherever"! This tale is not impossible if we have your far-out imagination, dear Ed! However or wherever your dear Tall Woman came to this Earth and you found her, consider yourself fortunate. :o)

Exactly how my telephone picks up, with the "X-Files" theme. Heard many stories through my uncles when I was little. All military men and each had a tale to tell. Yes, "The Truth IS Out There".... Hmmm Alien or Apache??? I sometimes wonder myself...

Be always safe,
Karen

Ya know I saw on the internet awhile back, several prominent political oddballs sharing that date of birth. I think Hillary was one of them but there were others. Have a google search to help her locate her kindred. Patrick

I meet once with a outer-space contraption manned by Mean Tall Women that looked half Apache half Cherokee and half Comanche (pardon my French) they didn't torture me, if they did I forbiddingly enjoyed it too much. Still wait for their return!

Although I am not so much a believer as a person who is willing to keep an open mind, I too find the whole alien thing intriguing, there is so much unexplained in this world and with the billions of planets out there it is not too far fetched to believe at least one of them could have had the same circumstances to create life. As for your missus I would be very weary...one nano call and you couuld be an experiment on the way to Jupitor...
