Squeaky Little Alien Tale
Abandoned Squeaky Alien toy found by a Hippie, he closes his eyes and it communicated to him.
Lonely nights at dark
Dogs bite me and bark
Fell in basket for a smile
Lost in 2 days for a while
I tried, but lost, no tears to cry
just feelings inside a toy
Thought Larry is my bestie
Last seen Larry on west Field
Before he lost control
and hit the bank of petrol
You should take me before I tell you what he did to lose the control.
Ahhh!!! I see, You has tales to say. I got company….
The end..
A talkative Squeaky Little Alien 👽 ☺️

I wonder if I’m the only one who heard this in my reading head in an early Bob Dylan whine voice.
Fun one, Simon!
