Oh, hey, Mr. Grey,
nice deathray,
before you kill us all,
I'd just like to say,
there's a cool display
up in Monterey
with fish that play
and splash and spray.
We should go today
if that's okay?
This isn't a way-
to delay.
I know you want to get things underway,
Just
wait
until
you
see
the
bay.
*
Hold on a sec,
please redirect-
those lasers pointed at my neck!
You have my respect.
No need to suspect.
I merely want to double-check
you haven't failed-
to inspect-
our
planet
be-fore
it
gets
wrecked.
*
Do you wanna ride,
in a car that glides
as it moves around on a great, big slide?
Just be-aware there are dolls inside
who sing together like a haunting guide.
Creepy? Yeah, but all jokes aside,
This park is known- nationwide,
An attraction that tends to be vied,
So
let’s
be
quick
and
beat
the
line.
*
Ever seen a knight,
who has to fight
atop a horse running in full flight?
They might try to bite,
there’s no good light,
and the acting is an awful fright.
But it's quite alright.
Worth the sight.
You
have
to
see
the
show
tonight.
*
Oh, here’s a thought
I know a spot
A venue that is highly sought
Worry naught,
my plan is taut,
We might get caught
But It’s worth a shot!
We’ll take a yacht
To Bharat
and
have
some
fun
until
we’re
not.
*
Do you like romance?
Let’s go to France.
There’s a tower there that can enhance
a date if you schedule in advance.
But
only
if
you
do
a
dance.
*
Oh, you need to eat?
Well, do you like meat?
-Gives a wink-
You’re in for a treat.
I know a street
that can't be beat.
they're
known
to
sell
the
fresh-est
feet.
*
Wait! Please don't go,
on your UFO,
give us a chance to say hello.
We welcome you-
with a great, hit show,
performed
by
Joe
on
a
big
plateau.
*
Alright, adios!
Whew, that was close,
we were seconds away from being toast.
It was quite the hoax
Glad I didn't choke.
Until
next
time
that
is
all
folks!

This is so clever! I really enjoyed this! Some of the lines had me smiling so wide!
Whew!! You saved us all :) And I loved the way you formatted this. Wonderful work, Brin. Although I thought you'd maybe go to a zoo, lol.
I love this take on the challenge 😁 A novel way to avert disaster, and I like the rhyming pattern 😁
This made me chuckle, especially your Loony Tunes esque ending. A wonderfully fun read 😆
I love it!!
Fantastic fun. A sheer delight reading this, Brin!
You saved the day.
