An alien came to Earth to visit
He landed his ship in my field
He asked me what was fun to do
On this blue and green ball
That I call home sweet home
So I thought long and hard
On what an alien could do
On this planet called Earth
Where he would not draw
Too much attention to his self
The more I thought, the more I knew
Just what I needed to do
So I took him our trick or treating
Since he already had his costume
And would fit right in.
He said his favorite candy was the Milky Way.
I knew he wasn’t lying since he ate eight right away.
After Halloween is over
We’ll visit a Comic Con
Where he’ll get so many comments
On his realistic choice of Alien Wear
He’ll get a couple of Hollywood Job offers
Which he’ll have to turn down for obvious reasons
The alien will insist on eating at Planet Hollywood
Then he will state that the food there is overrated,
Then he’ll complain about the price of all the food he ate
We’ll fly back to my farm, where he’ll insist on a bonfire
The ensuing wienie roast and s’more fixings
Will satisfy him more than any high-priced food.
When he leaves, he will invite me to visit his homeworld
Plus, he said he’ll be back next year for another
Halloween celebration with me.

Very cool way to greet an alien, i must say. Perfect time is Halloween indeed. I completely agree.
