Day the Earth Still Stood








A suave guy from space, friend not foe
Klaatu, said “baRada, nik-Toe”
In peace he came, but
Was shot in the gut
Seems Earth had enough at “Hello” *

  1. Hugh Marlowe? From space? I think not!
    Mike Rennie was cast in that spot.
    Hugh dated Pat Neal
    Was exposed as a heel
    And quickly was dropped from the plot!

  2. D'oh! Of COURSE it was. I must have been sleepy. Or on crack. Or sleepy while doing crack. Gah!

    Very funny limerick correction, though. At least I know you're out there. That's it--I was testing you.

  4. To our world came that Klaatu galoot
    Unannounced, in a silvery suit
    His spring-loaded gadget
    Was bound to cause agit
    Any wonder the soldiers would shoot?
