Earth-Landing... First Impressions

I’d landed in a bed of green with sweetly scented nap

And there before me saw a mass with slowly moving flap

I tapped into its thought process to bid the thing good day

To my surprise it formed a hole and launched a sound like “Neigh!”

Startled, I retreated to assess this monster’s aim

The rods, that kept it on the ground, then moved and at me, came

The part that held the moving flap was jerking up and down

In terror, I dispelled myself and turned my tunic brown

Making haste, I turned around and headed for my ship

I slipped up on a ghastly mound and uttered sounds like *#Blip#*!

I leapt into my trusty craft, relieved I’d not expired

Put the thing in mega-warp and prudently retired.
