The Doomsday Machine 3/1/05

in order to know

where they come from

gray bodied oriental eyed

aliens are partying

downing cases of

galactic beer given to

them by their captors

at Roswell

this makes them groggy

in preparation for

an operation to reveal

what makes them tick

things aren’t going

smoothly tho

the aliens are asking

for party hats and

noisemakers

they’re tearing

the whole place apart

they seem to get rowdy

when they drink

a cigar chomping

army surgeon

concludes that

despite their looks

they act like us

when they’re loaded

we’re trying

to make them feel at home

and that part might

be going well

they stumble around

their cells

bumping their heads

on the floor

proving

that despite their great

advancements

they act

like people

scientists have

released a report

entitled

the Doomsday Lottery

showing that the

similarity of antics

makes them

the same as us

despite their strange appearance
