Fun - Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers Poem by Paul Warren

Do you remember sitting in a dark Friday Night
When Deadly Earnest was an awesome sight
He would host a B-movie feast at that time
And we would find them all just fine

The one I liked most to this very day
Was Earth vs. The Flying Saucers in a scary display
It was made in the 50's when space was new
And the thoughts of our alien neighbours grew

It was a story of a scientist with a beautiful wife
Who found himself in a bit of strife
The rubber aliens spoke to him
And what happened next was an inter-planetary hymn

The war was on with heat ray arms
And alien faces that knew no charms
Their rays melted all at a touch
All that was left was a melted puddle of mush

In the end in Washington there was a showdown
The scientist finding a way to bring the saucers down
Our own ray gun made them wobble then crash
They saved the world with their flying fleet a smash

At the end of the film there was a beach scene made
With the scientist and his wife showing we had made the grade
But the final question was posed in the scene
Had we really won or was it all just a dream?
