Fun word game!!!

is it OK to make two entries -this idea just came to me. This can be sung to the tune of Walk on the Wild Side. (With apologies to Lou Reed):

Aliens came from across the Milky Way
Headed for the desert in the u.s.a.

Disguised their tentacles on the way
Then they looked just like you and me
They say, hey bub, take a probe in your backside
Said, hey Earthling, take a needle in your wild eyes

Ernest came from the Scottish Highlands
In the lab he was the maddest scientist

But he never lost his black-inked pen
Even when he was busy, then
He says, hey Grey, take a probe in the backside
Said, hey Grey, eyes on stalks out to the side
And the lil green men go

Ouch, Ouch, aagh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, ooooooo
Ouch, Ouch, aagh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, ooooooo
Etc

Little green men decided to run away
All of them had to get away

A ray gun here and a zapper there
Area 51 is the place where they said
Hey bub, take a truck for the wild ride
I said hey people, take a look at the other side

Brussels sprouts and Merlot selling in the streets
Aliens thought they looked good to eat

Then they went to see a show
Ernest saw them and oh, oh, oh
They said, Las Vegas, is a walk on the wild side
Ern said, hey dudes, take a walk back to the inside
No mercy, huh

The 3 Amigos were listening to Coldplay
Thought they’d wear leg warmers for the day

Then their calculator had to crash
The loss of that didn’t help them dash
To help save the aliens, take a look at how they tried
They brought a brick and a file to get them back outside

And the lil green men say
Ouch, Ouch, aagh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, ooooooo
Ouch, Ouch, aagh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, ooooooo
Etc

ohh that was a close one,


WEll done berenike

Sorry for the blank post, folks. After a bit of consideration, I'm pulling back this entry. It didn't quite work the way I was hoping. Cheers.

Joecroft was a mystery and very diverse.
He’d been sent back in time, to save the universe.

Armed with futuristic gadgets and technology.
He would make sure that all UFO photos didn’t look dodgy.

To blend in on earth, he donned a cowboy hat.
The aliens sent out trolls to find him, each carrying a bat.

Joe sang the trolls a love song, in perfect pitch.
The trolls couldn’t stand it and threw themselves of a cliff.

The next foe to arrive was a wibbley wobbley walien.
Joe unleashed the dreaded turkey and that was the end of him.

Next came a big hairy monster, looking pretty lofty.
But he was simply no match, for da Crofty !

Joe threw fleas onto the monsters back.
He itched and scratched and died of a heart attack.

Once long ago in the land of ATS
Where the men were bold and the women were beauteous

Lived a knight errant by the name of Joecroft
Who prowled the land with his spear held aloft

Felicity was a Troll, ugly and loathsome
A fearsome sight with her raggedy clothes on

She saw Joecroft coming and her eyes filled with hate
She challenged the ATSer to a meaningful debate

He couldn’t refuse her, he sought the truth that was out there
Felicity just sniffed and scratched the fleas from her hair

Joecroft started well, citing theory and source
Felicity sneered and said ‘Oh yeah, of course’

Joecroft tried again arguing this, the other and that
Felicity derided him with cries of ‘That’s so old (cowboy) hat’

Joecroft got fed up with this worst of the trolls and foed her
‘Hah!’ he thought ‘Well now, I’ve showed her’

Felicity bucked up when she saw she’d been foed
In her little mind she felt she’s been wooed

She looked in the mirror and upon reflection
Agreed that Joecroft had made a marvellous selection

She was a bit wobbly in all the right places
And had beautiful warts on both of her faces

She wrote a love song and when it was presented
Joecroft saw her in a new light, and relented

She wasn’t a monster, she wasn’t a foe
She was his girl from her head to her stub toe

The wedding date was set and the banns were read
They ordered a turkey so the guests could be fed

The photos turned out well of Joe and his bride
And from his grasp she will never be pried

NEW WORDS


Lightbulb

Ninja

Duck

book

Mince pie

Mistletoe

Hero

Bannana

Thread

Shocked

Silently the Ninja crossed the courtyard
To get this far he had really fought hard

He checked the light bulb in his torch
And threaded his way towards the porch

He was on a deadly earnest mission
Because on his mind were thoughts of kissin’

With the mistletoe in his back pocket
He approached the back door hoping no-one had locked it

Inside the house eating a mince pie
His beloved munched with a gleam in her eye

For her hero she awaited
She knew her desires would soon be sated

The Ninja tried to be smart from toe to head
And paused to detach a loose dangling thread

Alas, he didn’t see the banana skin
And off he skidded until he landed in

The pond - where he shocked the birds and fishes
‘Cor‘, he thought, ‘a night to remember this is’

The mistletoe from his pocket fell
And he let out an almighty yell

As it was picked up by a passing duck
Who thought to herself ‘Well, I am in luck’

She puckered up for love’s first kiss
And excitedly waited for her moment of bliss

The Ninja shuddered, but he’d been caught quite fairly
And to his credit he kissed her squarely

Meanwhile his beloved went to the window to look out
And when she saw the situation she got a book out

Because she could see that for her there’d be no romance
As the duck and the Ninja started to dance

She knew with the duck she couldn’t compete
She lacked the feathers and little webbed feet

That the Ninja found so charming that night
And he stayed with the duck until the dawn’s early light

Then found he couldn’t leave her, try as he might
‘Cos she seduced him with eggs for breakfast to deter his flight

You might well ask if the Ninja’s story is true,
But in that situation, well you would, wouldn’t you?
