A Planetary Portrait
As I look out the window and stare into space
I think to myself of an alien race
Would they live in the galaxies far, far away?
And if we could hear them, oh what would they say?
‘And what would they look like’ I thought to myself,
So I got out of bed and walked up to my shelf
I took out a journal and thought in my mind
Of pictures to draw of an alien kind
On Mars we would meet all the Red-Freckled Fuzzes
These creatures are mute; only sounds made are buzzes
Three feet and three arms these great creatures would show
Their hair is bright green and their noses do glow
Then we’d fly off to Saturn and check out its rings
And meet a new creature called Ban-Fangle Zing
Its figure is full of great many a kinks
In the light it does grow; in the dark it does shrink
And on Jupiter’s moons, oh now what would we see?
Well of course it’s the Goopy-Gray Marsh Snorkadee!
He lives in the swamps and he feeds off the plants
But don’t get too close or he may eat your pants
But what we’d find on Neptune is best of them all
For on Neptune there lives the great Lorg Cortocrawl!
He looks like a bear but he moves like a snake
And if you did see him, oh boy would you shake!
But Earth is the planet where I’d like to stay
For on Earth the things you do see change by the day
And the things you do see may not seem all that grand
But Earth is the planet where I wish to land
