A to Z Blogging Challenge:

Let's put the X in...What?

by

Tempest LeTrope

 

We could find no poetry style beginning with X.

This lack of x-iness made us complete nervous wrecks.

 

We wracked our brains. It caused us nothing but pain.

We were feeling absolutely downhearted and broken.

About the letter X, what can be spoken?

And then the answer walked through the door.

It was a face we'd seen often before.

 

 

"Why so glum?" asked our Xenomorph chum

"To be blue is nothing but dumb."

"For just 666 Quatloos I'll pen you a rhyme"

"I'll have it ready for you in jig time."

 

With Xenomorph nothing rhymes, it is true

But this doesn't mean they can't write a poem or two

We'll leave you to Zane

He'll make it quite plain

That space creatures have rhyming sense too

 

My People Are Misunderstood

by

Zane Xenomorph

 

In the Netherworld, I am accepted

But lots of other places are misdirected

They see me coming and get out their gun

I'm once again having to run

 

I just came into your bar for a beer

You really have nothing to fear

I won't cocoon you family or eat your heart

Bad press makes for a bad start

 

It seems that in days of the future past

My kind was pretty bad ass

But these days we're really quite mellow

You can put down your artillery, fellows

 

From our kind's eggs comes no face hugging freak

Just cute little creatures that chatter and squeak

To breed we don't need a host

Just a hive cozy and warm as toast

 

All we are saying

Is give Xenomorphs a chance

We aren't here to kill you

We just came to dance

 

Peace out.

Zane

 

Thank you, Zane. You saved our bacon from an X-less existence!

Here's your 666 Quatloos, and we'll throw in a can of Spam for good measure!

 

XOXO,

Tempest
