My poem that I like that is from one of my favorite comic strips Calvin and Hobbes.
While lying on my back to make an angel in the snow,
I saw a greenish craft appear! a giant UFO!
A strange, unearthly hum it made! It hovered oeverhead!
And aliens were moving ‘round in viewing ports glowing red!
I tried to run for cover, but a hook that they had low’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 compund eyes and pulled on their antannae!
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 things from my brain tissue, the things I wouldn’t tell ‘em!
All the math I ever learned, the numbers and equations,
Were mechanic’ly removed in this brain-draining operation!
My escape was an adventure. (I won’t tell you what I did.)
But suffice to say, I cannot add, so ask some other kid.
