An angel in the snow,
I saw a greenish craft appear!
A giant UFO!
A strange, unearthly hum it made!
It hovered overhead!
And aliens were moving 'round
In view ports glowing red!
I tried to run for cover, but
A hook that they had lw'r'd
Snagged me by my overcoat
And hoisted me aboard!
Even then, I tried to fight,
And though they numbered many,
I poked them in their compound eyes
And pulled on their Antennae!
It was no use! They dragged me to
A platform, tied me up,
And wired to my cranium
A fiendish suction cup!
They turned it on and current coursed
Across my cerebellum,
Coaxing from my brain tissue
The things I wouldn't tell 'em!
All the math I ever learned,
The numbers and equations,
Were mechanically removed in this
Brain-draining operation!
My escape was an adventure.
(I won't tell you what I did.)
Suffice to say, I cannot add,
So ask some other kid.
