There was something odd, on this moonlit night
I couldn’t figure it out, but it gave me a fright
The moon in the sky, a very curious shape
It looked like an egg, or maybe even a grape
When up in the tree, I saw an eerie red glow
Twas a gem, like a ruby, held on by a toe
The toe was attached to a spoopy old thing
Half bat and half bird, and it started to sing
I covered my ears, couldn’t handle the sound
Stepped back, lost my balance, fell to the ground
Looked up at this creature, as he laughed at me
How dare he do that, when he’s up in my tree?
Then it dawned on me, why the moon was strange
It wasn’t the moon, someone made an exchange
It was an egg, hatched an extraterrestrial being
I saw all I wanted, turned and ran, quickly fleeing
