Floating Gators

Watched an old "Gunsmoke" show and one outlaw was called, "Smiley".....'heard words like "town folk". My muse got stirred .


Poem Artwork

Town folk called him "Smilely"
Some folks called him "dumb"
"One" knew him a genius
Smart as they could come

Walking down the valley
Close to ev'ning time
Smilely with his suitcase
Feeling in his prime

Knew he'd be transported
("What's that now you say?")
Seeking out his "people"
Some light years away

Farmer saw him floating
Upwards towards a ship
Saw this all a hap'ning
Kept a buttoned lip

'Swears he saw a gator
In that beam of light
That gator was Smiley
Floating out of sight

There you have the story
You never asked for
Wrote this as I floated
To that starships door

Chomp!

What fun. Gators are always interested to look at, from the distance, and if they are smilin', well that's another matter. Enjoyed this one, Jane.

Saw old Smiley floating up,
to that ship, a freighter,
I just waved goodbye,
and said, "See ya later alligator."

Fun read. Wish all stories of gators were this entertaining, rather than frightening.
