No Such Space Deals, Creepo

I had a dream that you, 
me, my lead guitarist,
Maggie K. and that actress
from the Wesley Snipes
movie had all been taken up 
in one fully-appointed
UFO, which 

was cloud-shaped,
fit and kitted out
for space travel, and
so (to our sudden
and complete ass
astonishment!) were

we! It was cool 
but problem, though: 
no food!

The aliens 
hosting or abducting 
us, the three or four of us 
up there in relative
comfort and ease, had
provided a beautiful 
streaming swimming pool
full of stars, so cleanliness
was next to effortless.

Plus a touch screen 
we could punch up
to ask any questions
of our captors and/or
benefactors, but 

Nobody had anything 
to eat!

Luckily, those stupid aliens
could be prevailed upon.
Made in so many signs
and angry hints

to understand what 
was needful to such
beings as we three
or four were, and

one big horse-pill later,
everyone 

pretty much 

was more or less satisfied,
revolted and mutineering
at the prospect of (slowly 
dawning comprehension) 
being installed in some kind 
of fussed-up Twilight Zone 
zoo exhibit for extraterrestrials 
to snigger and gawk! So 

Naturally,
seeing how it all was,
they took us right straight back 
to the big stone ivy-covered
cottage-castle on the circle 
where it all began, 

(...does this sound like 
a dream? TRUST ME)
(it was), and seeing as we'd
been so well-taken care of
enough, the several of us
left in full cahoots by
that point struck up
such a bargain and a band

that the others still won't speak
to me to this day! Sheesh 

It wasn't my UFO, people
