The Alphabet Book for Strangers

The aliens arriving now they do not come in peace.

 

Terrorists use bombs that blow up in the street.

 

Cyborgs used to be like us but aren't anymore.

 

And dragons are carnivorous so do not touch their hoard.

 

The elves are quite mischievous they’ll get you in your sleep.

 

And fairies are a thieving bunch so watch them when they sneak.   

 

The Giants here will squish you flat and make you into bread.

 

And hitmen are awaiting you to chop and slice your head.

 

Invasion of the tv screens they march from here to there.

 

But please be careful who you fight or you might go to jail.

 

The killers they are watching for you to be alone.

 

So you better hope the lightning strikes the monsters in your home.

 

Your weirdo next door neighbor is hiding from the cops.

 

And their secret operation to rid the world of socks.

 

When pirates come on youtube to steal your intellectual right.

 

Your slow protector Qwerty is ready for the fight.

 

But the snipers in your bathroom and the robot by the bed.

 

Have come to torture Unicorns with viking like bloodshed.

 

You've lost the battle and the war and wish within your mind.

 

That it were x-rays from days of yore not zombies made you blind.
