Cramp prompt. Why were you late for work again?

Dear Boss, don't you see
How unfair it is to fire me?
I know that I am late,
But hear me out, please, wait!

So, this morning, I got dressed
At 7 AM -- are you impressed?
I breakfasted by seven thirty
Please listen - don't get shirty!

Then I went to the garage
I'm getting to it, stop your barrage!
I took my car in to the drive
And heard a hum .. bees in a hive?

But you know, it wasn't bees!
There was a UFO, among the trees!
And little green men, they clambered out
And all of them began to shout:

"Earthling! Do not drive this car!
We'll stop you from going far!
We need your rear right window
To fix into our UFO

"Ours has come loose
Attacked by Farmer Brown's goose.
We'll never visit that farm again
Phew! Geese really cause pain!"

Well, you know Earth's policy
Is inter-galactic diplomacy.
The process was awfully slow
But I gave them my rear-window.

Then, I was driving off
When, with a polite cough
One of them informed me
That I was no longer free.

"The first thing, you'll inform
Those cops of yours, in uniform
And they'll be after us
By plane and train and bus."

I pressed the pedal real quick
And leaned on the gear stick
But, to evade those green men
I took the long way, via route ten!
