The sheriff was sitting in the locked jail cell
with the key in his pocket
chewing on cactus &
gulping down hot coffee
~
Some one knocked on the door of
the Sheriff’s Office
“Come in!” chortled Sheriff Isom Dart
from the safety of the cell
~
Another Martian.
Before the creature said anything
Dart erupted, “I’m already
registered to vote!”
~
The creature from Mars peered at Dart
quizically with its third eye
& beeped, “But are you going to
vote for Obama?”
~
“Of course I’m voting for
Obama!” cried forth the
harried lawman. “You critters
are driving me crazy!”
~
The green man wrapped a tentacle around
a jail-cell bar &
peered into the gloom
at the Earthman
~
The Martian said, “It’s best for the galaxy, the solar system,
my planet, your planet & your nation that
President Obama
serves 4 more years in the White House”
~
Sheriff Dart almost said
something but didn’t
the Martian turned around
dissolved right thru the wall…
