Little Green Men - POEM of the MONTH!

Little Green Men
 
I saw two little green men
Sunk into the cracks of a cold city,
Huddled, their skin blended
With the sidewalk and building
That held the sickly one upright;
Santa passed by without notice
Artist: John Leech - (Public Domain)
Poem Inspired by "A Christmas Carol"
by Sir Charles Dickens 

As they were puffing on a jay,
Feeling higher than the rising smoke
 
Feeling lower than the snowfall
Melting down the drain pipe
 
Stranger still, if possible,
I saw two homeless men,
Nameless and faceless
Until I sat down next to them;
They looked at me quizzically
Like I was a little green man;
The moment shortened
By the warmth of a blanket
 
By the warmth of a smile
Melting the ice from our hearts
