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! :)

Hahaha! This definitely made me smile. You don't read many funny poems now-a-days, so this was really refreshing. I loved that it was an apology to the aliens instead of the run of the mill (if something like that can indeed be called run of the mill) anger and fear. Thank you for this and the laughs it brought.

Very random but not so stupid. It was pretty funny, and kind of scary at the same time. A few mistakes, but still an interesting read.

"So I punched you in your gruzzleflof." This made me smile.

"Making your plane now function" Should be "malfunction"

"And knocking out your piolet..." Should be "pilot". This line also made me smile. You did a good job furthering the story to the end while seeming to just be listing what the speaker did to the ship.

"And land right in area 51." Nice addition. Although area should be capitalized.

Cute. And random, but that fits the criteria of the the contest so that's a good thing.
