A massive ship
Seven souls in space
Set down upon
A desolate place
They found a craft
Not at it's best
A space jockey
With hole in chest
In they went
On tired legs
Found a cargo bay
Full of eggs
They should have left
Nosey buggers
Those eggs contained
FaceHuggers™!
Their simple task
To impregnate
The crew
At an alarming rate
Internal organs
Pushed aside
For an alien
To hide
Over dinner
Xenomorph born
The crew crestfallen
And forlorn
From a chest
Did alien rip
Now hidden aboard
Their maze-like ship
Then the chase
Earnestly begun
Crew whittled down
One by one
Gory deaths
Bodies were cleft
Until just one
Brave soul was left
Settling into
Shuttle's nest
Self-destruct
Would do the rest
While ship exploded
Into space
The alien
Was in her face!
So at the end
Pretend you're her
Your final seconds
Are a blur
Have you the stones
To save yourself?
Or have you left them
On the shelf
Your only hope
That it's a dream
For in space
No-one can hear you scream...
