You Were Sayin'...?


An alien came down from the stars
He had no concept of wars
He found us aggressive
And rather repulsive
He went back to his home on Mars

There once was a fellow named Rocky
At times he could be quite cocky
Until a bird overhead
Dropped something on his head
Now Rocky thinks he's the Jabberwocky
 
A local fellow named Shirran
Has apparently left for Iran
He thought it was funny
To make his own money
Then he took that money and he ran
 
There once was a fellow named George
He came upon a deep gorge
Being no stranger
To constant danger
On its edge he established a forge
 
While in church the poet McDonnett
Wrote a most distinguished sonnet
All would have been fine
Not at all out of line
Had he been clad in more than a bonnet
 
There once was a lady named Mabel
In all things she was quite able
She owned a boutique
That was quite unique
Much went on there under the table
 
There once was a man of the cloth
His gown was beset by a moth
His dress was moth eaten
It looked weather beaten
So he made himself some warm broth

There once was a fairy named Bella
She fell for a local fella
She was rather fond
Of his magic wand
When he waved it under an umbrella
 
I once lost my heart to a vamp
I met her at a summer camp
I was eight and she seven
I was truly in heaven
I wished I had a magic lamp
 
There once was a shy guy from Shanghai
‘Twas a wonder that he could get by
He stayed in his house
Timid as a mouse
From a window he would watch the birds fly
