I don’t know what it is about my garden <br />it just attracts the weird and wonderful. <br />In the past, I’ve had dancing butterflies <br />and more recently a hairy fairy <br />with a Pancho Villa moustache came to stay. <br />I’ve even had an alien <br />whose spaceship was no bigger than my thumb! <br />At first when I saw him I thought he was a new kind of bug <br />wearing a blue florescent jumpsuit, <br />then I noticed he was walking on two legs. <br />I had to get my magnifying glass out <br />just to get a closer look at him. <br />He had a squeaky little voice almost like a mouse, <br />what he was trying to say I just do not have a clue <br />and it made no sense to me. <br />I lay down on the ground hoping I could hear him better, <br />and then I had to sneeze and blew him half across the yard. <br />When I went to get him, <br />he ran away back to his saucer and quickly flew away. <br />I sure hope he comes back again on another day <br />when my clumsy hairy fairy is well out of the way <br />or I might just have a blue florescent dot on my path. <br /> <br /> <br />20 September 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weird-and-wonderful/
