And as I watched I heard that announcer chap...Art Bell...report that something had fallen near me. A cylinder was lying in the commons at Grovers mill.
I rushed to the scene with my friend Oglivee the astronomer.
It was true! There...in front of us lie a huge, dark cylinder! Smoking and glowing hot!
And then...from inside ..the faint sound of tapping!
Fearing a man trapped inside Oglivee rushed forward but was driven back by the heat.
The tapping increased...as we stood we observed the very top of the cylender begin to turn...ever so slowly turn...until it finally rose above the craft...wavered for a moment and fell to earth with a thundering, clanging, thud.
Above the rim of the cylinder a dark, quivering form could be seen moving. It raised a device of some sort...fascinated we were riveted to the ground... a blinding light seared the early morning sky....
Shelter me from the powder and the finger. Think of me as one who never figured.
To pass away so young.
With so much left undone.
Rememebr me to my love, I know I'll miss her.
Oh, wait...I was listening to Neil Young and got distracted. Sorry.
