A Ballad Of Space
I walked outside and looked up one night,
Do you know what I could see?
An army, of a billion stars
All staring back at me!
I aimed my telescope right up high
Do you know what I could see?
An alien in a spaceship,
Drinking my dad's coffee!
I ran inside,
I jumped! I screamed!
I dragged them all outside
showed them, and I beamed.
My sister was the least impressed,
Completely determined to find
The thing she thought, all along
To discover that I lied.
she looked all over the telescope,
and soon she jumped and screamed
"ahah! I knew it! It's a lie!"
You should have seen how her face then gleamed.
she walked right up
and saw the possible lie
it was simply a bit of muck
A little crumb of pie!
I walked inside, crestfallen,
my sister bright with glee.
but then, I could have sworn I saw,
An alien wink at me!
