Wishing for a visit<\/p>\n
Hoping they will come<\/p>\n
I need to see a UFO<\/p>\n
Before my life is done<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I tell my friends about this<\/p>\n
They listen without words<\/p>\n
Then go on to talk about<\/p>\n
Aches and pains and GERD<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I bought a pricey telescope<\/p>\n
And placed it in my room<\/p>\n
Near an easy plate glass window<\/p>\n
I can sit and peer and zoom<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The experts say to meditate<\/p>\n
I try to slow my mind<\/p>\n
To let them know I’m peaceful<\/p>\n
No hostility they will find<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So far it’s pretty quiet<\/p>\n
Patience is a must<\/p>\n
I’m hoping they will hear me<\/p>\n
As someone they can trust<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I decided if they take me<\/p>\n
I shall go without a fight<\/p>\n
To voyage far beyond this realm<\/p>\n
