Jean,
here's one I just finished yesterday.

"White Lightning"
© copyright JR Hoffman 2009

me and Steve was watching the still
when some flashing lights come over the hill
they hovered above us way off of the ground
and two little fellas come floating on down
the biggest one said we just got off work
this here's Ernie and my name's Bert
we don't want you boys reporting no crime
and they beamed us aboard along with the shine
Steve said does this thing run on alcohol
and Ernie said no you fool we drink it is all
then a perfect clone of Marilyn Monroe
poured us a round and giggled here we go

not a cloud in sight
but there's white lightning
white lightning
there's white lightning in the sky tonight

well we musta shot past the speed of light
cause the game on TV weren't 'til Monday night
I said no way they can beat the Jets
Bert turned around and said you wanna bet
before I knew it he was setting her down
from the desert we could see the lights of town
he grabbed a remote and quick as a blink
that saucer turned into a limousine
Ernie hit a fireplug in our camoulflaged ship
as we made our escape down the Vegas strip
so the cops was on us lights and siren crying
but Bert hit the clicker and flash bang we was flying

not a cloud in sight
but there's white lightning
white lightning
there's white lightning in the sky tonight

I didn't remember getting home when I woke up on the lawn
I had lipstick on my collar and both my shoes were gone
and right here in my pocket I found what would become
my ticket to riches when the game was done
looking up at the stars I seen a little blue light
as it dipped and dived I just shook my head and waved goodbye

not a cloud in sight
but there's white lightning
white lightning
there's white lightning in the sky tonight
