What is It?

It doesn't walk on two legs,
nor does it walk on four.
It can enter any building
without opening the door.
It doesn't have two eyes,
but rather thirty-nine.
What in the world is that thing?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Its skin is robin's egg blue

and its hair is neon green.

It seems rather friendly

and not the least bit mean.

It doesn't crawl like a snake.

or hop like a kangaroo.

What kind of creature is that thing?

I don't know.  Do you?

It might be lighter than air

because it floats just like a balloon,

and when the day is done

it glows as brightly as the moon.

Sometimes it hovers in place,

other times it moves to and fro.

What could that thing be?

Doesn't anybody know?

It has three noses on its face

each as red as a pomegranate.

I've never seen it around here before.

Could it be from another planet?

It doesn't have a voice to speak,

but it buzzes just like a bee.

Can we find out what that thing is

or will it forever be a mystery? - Jeff Barnes
