orb man’s plight

 

verse 1

a flash of light went streaking

across the winter sky

the townsfolk were congregating

as it whistled through the night

then all it once it crashed

into the valley outside of town

the sight of smoke – the smell of fire

where it plowed on through the ground

 

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time

verse 2

the orb was askew and smoldering

as it’s glow faded to dim

the night was dark and quiet

as it teetered on the rim

when all at once it’s hatch retracted

revealing an eerie sight

an orb man lying on his back

fighting for his very life

 

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time

verse 3

the site was soon occupied

from a proprietor who lived nearby

surveying the supernatural scene

he could barely believe his eyes

and before he had a chance to react

the extrinsic orb being conveyed

he was from another place and time

and in need of medical aid

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time

 

verse 4

soon the e.o.b. was triaged

and convalescing in solitude

the proprietor and his family made sure

the e.o.b. was out of view

still neighbors had concerns about

the fireball in the sky

they wanted to know what happened

and they wanted to know why  

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time

verse 5

when the e.o.b. had recovered

and his craft ready to disembark

the law was at the proprietor’s door

demanding to see this ark

as the proprietor helped the e.o.b.

climb into the orb-like sphere

the door had sealed behind them

their destination: a new frontier

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time

 

verse 6

as the proprietor and the e.o.b.

traipsed through the past sublime

encountering the 1964 beatles and

and ben franklin in his prime

the conveyance wobbled through antiquity

until history redefined

helpig john alden, leif erickson & myles standish

while securing roger maris from a bind

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time

 

verse 7

the voyage had taken many days

although no time had passed

when the e.o.b. had resurrected the journey

and delivered the proprietor to his caste

nothing more to be discussed now

the two must part their ways

the proprietor back with his family

the e.o.b.’s travels still a haze

yikes on high - yikes below
wormhole wandering through time

yikes on high – yikes below

wormhole wandering through time
