Strange Bedfellows

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

What strange bedfellows this alien, and I make 
But, it was really just a matter of give and take

I'd read a book, he; forever watching the stars
He, could never really takes his eye off of Mars

Says he has a brother there, he's waiting a call
And that odd way on my bed he likes to sprawl

His feet upon the pillows, he gets a better view
Looking at the cosmos for out that may be new

I wouldn't say he snores, but he makes a noise
Because after eating gherkins boys will be boys

I thought he was levitating, as the quilt did rise
But; was just wind, it brought tears to my eyes

He doesn't like to get out of bed in the morning
Lies with his one eye open, its quite concerning

Joined Netflix, so he could the watch sci-fi films
Then just about anything to feed his odd whims

He likes Alan Titchmarsh on a Sunday afternoon
Charlie Dimmock with her huge braless balloons

He got a job at Walmart; bringing the trolleys in
It makes him right happy, where he likes to sing

Then it's back home to bed with his goodies bag
It's just comfort eating, as for him time does lag

Waiting on the stars to align so he can go home
Until, he's the best bedfellow I have ever known
