The Unexpected Alien

Where the sizzling campfire sat, a man played his guitar
The children sang along, until they heard a horrific bang
They looked to their left and found something extremely bizarre
The animals no longer played, and the man no longer sang

In the dark, mysterious night a metal object crashed
And out emerged a fluorescent alien with one eye
As the man was about to approach it, a red light flashed
Then the man nervously trembled out, are you a spy?

In a high-pitched voice, an answer was received
No, do not be scared our UFO just stalled
That theory from the alien the children and man disbelieved
The children chorused an okay, but the police were still called

The alien let out a sudden high-pitched scream
It shocked everyone and made them all terribly scared
All the campers stood there thinking to themselves that was extreme
The UFO magically repaired, and the alien flew off while the campers stared
