Close Encounters of a Curry Kind
 
(Adapted for National Curry Week from poem by Robin Reid of Bradford (original written in 1993) & sent in by Khalid Khan and Shahid Siddiqi)----------Can you do better?

Passed Pluto and Neptune and thousands of stars
Passed Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Mars,
And charging e'er onward for all it was worth
The alien spacecraft now headed for Earth.
Astronomers gathered to meet face to face,
Concerned at the object detected in space.
And armies were scrambled to set up a plan
To crush the invasion before it began.
The craft in the heavens glowed brilliant with light
Sufficient to fashion a day out of night.

Then soon it had landed and clear came the sky.
The armies were waiting. The tension was high.
Then after some moments its door opened wide.
The leader emerged with his guards at his side.
Addressing the people he begged them for calm
And tried to assure them he meant them no harm.

"We come here in peace and we have one intent:
To share with you humans your Greatest Event.
Forgive our intrusion and try not to worry;
We just want to taste your delectable curry".

Relief filled the people and smiles came at last,
And great was the joy now the danger had passed.
And later that evening e'er brimful with mirth
Curry Week welcomed the strangers to Earth.
