An Open Apology to the Aliens Who Abducted Me...

An Open Apology to the Aliens Who Abducted Me and Upon Whom I Inflicted Great Destruction While Having a Panic Attack Aboard the Mother Ship... (for a contest)

Dear Aliens,

I am so very sorry

For what I did...

To you...

To your ship...

To. Your. Leader.

I should be grateful,

It was a wonderful experience!

Floating in the bright lights,

Hearing your language,

Being experimented on,

To learn more about... Me!

I should have felt honored.

But I didn't.

Your bright lights blinded me,

Sent me into an anxiety attack,

So I punched you in your gruzzleflof.

Then, hearing your language,

Made me freeze up,

Before I bit off the guards antenna

And broke the door down to escape,

Which I failed.

And being experimented on made me laugh.

You cut my pants and jacket open

Thinking it was my skin!

But then you continued for layer two...

Then you

PENETRATED MY SKIN,

Hooked me to a machine,

And chopped my hair to be,

"Further analyzed."

That made me panic.

So after that, I'm sorry for

Tearing the machine apart,

Punching a hole in you wall

And tearing the wires inside the wall out,

Making your plane malfunction,

Then throwing the broken machine...

Through the window...

And knocking out your pilot...

Making your Mother Ship crash,

And land right in Area 51.

Once more, I'm sorry.

Tell me what you think about it. I know it's random but I did it for a contest. :)

It works as a stream of consciousness thing, and the idea itself is obviously pretty amusing. Some of the punctuation choices threw me off a bit, eg. the ellipses on the successive lines "the broken machine... Through the window... knocking out your pilot..." It might work better as one long line, or without the ellipses, maybe?

Kudos for "So I punched you in your gruzzleflof." Inexplicably fantastic nonsense word! :)

very satirical and imaginative. i really like the way the irony is played in your poem; even though it is humorous and simple, it is serious and very complex. amazing write

[Stacey Watts]

Good work. It is about time somebody showed those aliens a thing or two. I like this it was a very fun and lighthearted piece. I loved the humor in this.

[wizzawiz]

Definitely random but I loved it! Very funny and some great use of punctuation. I even read To. Your. Leader. in an alien voice in my head.... little embarrassing... hahaha good work!

[Disillusioned]

I like it. Especially To. Your. Leader. Using the punctuation to make the humorous mimic. Good luck with the contest.

[Peter Joseph Swanson]

Love it!

haha how random is this!! very creative, I like the way you've played with typical beliefs, the idea that we are probably more disastrous to them than they are to us!! nice!!

[Fallacy Pharmacy]

Not in the gruzzleflof! o.o

Definitely very imaginative and random, well constructed, too. I really enjoyed reading this.
