Had I been abducted or was it a dream
My eyes were wide open or so it did seem
Found myself inside of a huge oval room
With greys and expressions which seemed to be gloom

They pulled out a shiny rod glancing it o'er
Then more and then more and then more and then more
These rods were then shoved through my stomach and head
While I lay on a flat still shinier bed

No pain did I feel but I felt myself heal
As soon as those rods were removed came a meal
A liquid which tasted like what you thought of
I thought of a lobster - the taste - close enough

The greys seemed to thank me then I was asleep
I woke up at home sure I must have slept deep
I checked out my stomach and found blue marks there
I checked out my head and that's what made me stare

My eyes were much bigger and slanted somewhat
My mouth just a slit and a crazy hair cut
Touched one of the spots on my stomach and found
My thoughts understood without making a sound

I thought I should move a chair across a room
Then found I was shocked when it moved just that soon
New powers were given to me by someone
I dare not go out for I fear folks would run

I gazed in the mirror again to make sure
Finding that my skin now was solid azure
Perhaps not azure leaning more to a grey
The powers the color I like it this way!
