This is a prompt story--hard word to work with. Silly, but cute
ABDUCTION I never believed my brother Had been abducted By aliens . . . However After checking under his covers I feared it was a true endeavor As brothers go, Billy was okay Weird and smelly, a nasty tease Yet blood bound us till that awful day Green blood-like goo caused unease As I searched for signs and clues Mom and Dad did not seem worried Never noticed that Billy was gone They went their way unhurried I felt so scared, lost and alone As if fallen into the "Twilight Zone!" My sad plight came to fruition While watching my parents in their room Shivering, I felt a sickening intuition A feeling of impending doom Long metal zippers lined their backs Before they unzipped, I retraced my tracks! "What lay beneath those zippers?" I thought The idea of aliens made me overwrought Oh Billy, oh bro, where did you go? What manner of monster has you in tow? Where's Mom and Dad--why was I left alone? Fear and terror possessed my mind My home overtaken by an alien kind Of being, not akin at all to me Escape, my only avenue to get free A familiar whistle caught my ear Billy often signalled me this way Wary, I snunk out through the rear Hoping, praying to find my family Safe and sound . . .and zipper free! "Psst." I followed the sound To our tree house way above ground There they were, all three Mom, Dad, Billy and now me! And whew!!! They were zipperless We lay low, as our psuedo-family Left our home, glancing upward As a whirring sound tore from the sky The UFO hoverd low to the ground The "others" unzipped their human skins Ugh!! Only a mother could love these beings Their own mothers, if they had any Once inside, the saucer soared In a nanosecond it was gone We hugged each other hard. "Lord," Mom said, "that was so wrong. "Don't they know they don't belong?" We told no one of our invasion Who would have believed our altercation? It was a tale told only upon occassion As for Billy and me . . . Gazing up at the big and little dippers We vowed to ever be on guard for zippers!

Thanks Steve,
The meter s off and it's kind of silly but somehow funny and endearing. Never sent it out for publication but was thinking of turning it into a kid's book. I went to your site--good luck with your poems and keep sending them out!
