Today I Saw An Alien!
Today I saw an alien!
It wasn’t very big,
It stopped my big feet in their tracks,
I almost ran & hid!
Dark red eyes and hairy legs,
Spikes upon its head,
Suddenly it flipped; back danced,
Lay motionless…or dead!
Had I scared it half to death?
Was this its last foray?
At once, it jumped the right way up,
And promptly flew away!

I had a funny encounter a couple of days ago. I noticed a large fly acting strangely, close to the floor, where I was about to tread. Bending down to take a closer look, it kindly stood very still, as I managed to get a head-on shot. Photo shoot done, it suddenly flipped onto its back, spinning & doing its dying fly dance, finally coming to a brief halt, before jumping up, after its performance, and flying off! It didn’t even wait for me to say thank you!

Didn’t wait for you to say thank you, it ought to be thanking you for not swatting it! Brilliant photo Debbie and a lovely rhyme 🙂
Debbie Jones says:
Haha! Well, at least it didn’t bother me by flying around my head, Sue, but some do deserve being swatted! Glad you liked the photo & rhyme..I’m sure he was posing! ? Many thanks for your comment, Sue. ☺️

Surely you exchanged numbers?
Debbie Jones says:
I would’ve, but he dashed off so quickly..rude, I say. Maybe he didn’t like being papped! ?
