UFO Guy

A mountain of a man
a tented place to lay his head,
braving weather elements
he's got tape for all he's said.

Thinking outside of the box
is what he does the best,
he knows all the UFO sightings
happen mostly here, in the wild west;

the desert's isolation
has a quartz deposit, too
add our local airforce base
and the UFO's, start passing through !

I have seen a sighting
and it flabbergasted me !
It's flying pattern was lightning quick
as I watched it by a nearby tree.

So, I've been allowed some knowledge,
I'm on a, "need to know" basis...
but, when I tell my tale
you should really see their faces !

This "desert rose", has his oddities
but, he's quite the gentleman...
he just wants us to remember
if one lands, treat him as a friend !
