Leonard found a spaceship.
It was out in his backyard.
He tried to tell his mom and dad
and caught them quite off-guard.
“I promise you it’s out there!
I rode it to the moon.
A robot out there greeted me
as Captain Blabberboon.
He showed me all the things up there,
like craters and moondust.
It wasn’t what I thought it’d be;
green men, I thought, a must.
Bored with the moon, we rode back home,
my robot friend and me.
I’d like for you to meet him
’cause he’s out beside the tree.”
His parents looked in disbelief,
but saw something outside.
The robot waved and greeted them;
his parents ran to hide.
“Don’t be scared, he isn’t mean.
His face just looks that way.
He cared for me while on the moon,
and got me back okay.”
“We’re sorry that we doubted you,”
his father said to him,
“We didn’t think you told the truth,
but we were wrong again.”
“Ah ha!”, he cried, “You doubted me,
I did not tell a lie.”
This goes to show a robot
is a worthy alibi.
