The Man I need more witnesses to testify Everyone
is having mass hallucinations Sure, sure first
landing in six months Were just second rate news
here Hes a wonderful man with divine power The
dying man shook violently The gun cracked once,
twice Mustnt keep him waiting Little simple

of us all Liquid gray ran from his nostrils Dont
interfere Fingers twitched Youre only hurting
yourself Words by Ray Bradbury Organized by

Zero Hour What a game! Children catapulted this
way and that Such tumbling and hardy
screaming! All sweat and dirt Mink was seven,
loud, strong, and definite Rattled pots and
tools Whats the name? Invasion Children brought
out knives, forks, pokers, and can-openers Only
younger children played Made an apparatus with
equipment Talked to rose bush No one
there Drills waiting Martians invading earth

Drills a Martian Drill said a fifth column Were
having trouble with Pete and Dale, Well kill
them first Ill be sure you wont get hurt too
much Zero hour is five oclock The hour drowsed
by. Excitement continued Five oclock, a clock
sang, five oclock The explosion Mrs. Morris
screamed Footsteps came, heavy footsteps. Mom,
Dad, cried Mink! The attic lock melted. The door
opened Peek-a-boo!! Words by Ray Bradbury
