An Alien Body In The House
It’s a non-outer space alien battleship called ‘Virus.’
Aug 6, 2022
There’s a virus
around in the house,
It’s not really alive, is it?
A host’s cell it needs,
surfing the bloodstream.
Nutrient absorbing the aim.
Reproducing — having a good time.
Causing mayhem,
fever, fatigue, misery
— Alien Antigen Alert!
Immune battleships to the rescue.
Inner red universe alien space battle in progress.
Medicine battleship capsules en route for symptomatic relief.
Battleship progress log update: Mission nearly successful — rest needed.
