The Trouble With Triffids


When meteors rained from the skies
all vision was stricken from eyes
Awaiting mankind
was fate less-than-kind:
carnivorous plants' food supplies


Janette Scott tries to avoid being planted in Day of the Triffids (Steve Sekely, Freddie Francis, 1962)

  1. I'd go to a far distant planette
    to snare just a glimpse of young Janette
    I can't cuz I'm just
    a mechanical bust
    A rockette ship--I couldn't manette!

  2. The lovely and lithesome miss Scott
    is out-of-this-world sci-fi hot
    But Scott's place of birth
    is down here on earth
    In spite of which you won't get squat
