ABC Poetry Entry

An alien spaceship landed today
Bouncing across my yard
Coming out was a creature, strange
Does he know he looks like lard?

Everyone on the block did come
For the strangest sight to see
Gawking and laughing they watched him come
Hobbling over to me

I asked him his name
"Jungo Dim", he replied
"Karasana is where I am from
Let me tell you why I came."

"My planet is going to explode," said he
"Next year we will all be dead
Only you can save us," was his dire plea
"Please help us," the alien said

"Quiet!" I ordered, while trying to think
Ruminating the options I had
"Sure, I'll help you," I finally said
"Tonight we will call on my dad."

Under the waning moon we sped
Very quickly to visit my father
When we got there he thumped me on the head
"Xavier, why me do you bother?"

"You're the only one who can help," I replied
"Zounds, what on earth shall we do?"
"Alas, I can not be of help now."
"Bring him back tomorrow at two."
