george came down to meet me the other day

just for a short vacation, he said he couldn't stay

he had to go back home to a distant galaxy

back to his home planet (he called it Planet Z)

he was a woodlouse

a rolly-poly with a giant brane

I fainted when I first saw him

because I thought I'd gone insane

but george would never hurt me

as he later would explain

to harm a sentient being

would cause him telepathic pain

george and I went walking the other day

we went out for a stroll and the hours flew away

he wanted conversation and enjoyed my company

he had never met a mammal back on Planet Z

'cause he's a woodlouse

a rolly-poly with a jointed shell

I fainted when I first saw him

but he turned out to be real swell

oh, george would never hurt me

it would put him through such hell

all he asked was my friendship

and to walk a little spell

(spoken):

(I guess I should explain that technically, george wasn't really a pillbug, sowbug, rolly-poly, or any other kind of woodlouse, he just reminded me of one with his articulated carapace, beady, multifaceted eyes, and multiple legs. george explained to me that his people evolved from what we would call trilobites, which is a kind of paleozoic arthropod. but he never told me much more than that, because he suddenly shrieked with pleasure and ran over to a rotting log, which he began to munch on gleefully.)

george said goodbye to me the other day

when we had finished walking and he had had his say

he thanked me for my hospitality

he told me I should someday visit Planet Z

and walk with woodlice

aliens with public speaking skill

I won't faint when I next see them

it will seem like such a thrill

george said he'd come back to get me

as he vanished up on that hill

and I really do believe that

if I wait for him, he will

it's been a week now since he left me

and I am waiting still
