Edgar Allen Poe and the Alien Dance Party! (a short story by: Ben Farley)

I was hanging out in Colorado the other day, waiting to go white water rafting down the Colorado River. I was at this campground area that has more hammocks than I've ever seen in one place. There were people lounging around everywhere in them. Alseep. They looked like Cacooned giant worms. We went hunting for gold in the creekbed just outside the Ranch area. It was like the Rubber Rose Ranch in the Movie Even Cowgirls get the Blues. There were Lesbians everywhere panning for gold. One lady pulled up some arrowheads- she had a fist full of arrow heads. And I thought: "Hey she must've pulled those out of her pocket- there's no way she just found a fist full of arrow heads in one place in the creekbed- bullshit.

Some U.F.O.'s landed in the nearby field and we went over to chill with the aliens. They beamed us up to the other Milky Way- several hundred light years away. We danced on the sister Earth and the buildings there looked alot like Earth's buildings. Dancing with the Aliens was funny because - while they look alot like us- they are taller and as a result of that they look goofy swing dancing to 40's, 50's, 60's music. The dance floor we were on was made of solid Gold. It is truly the most Beautiful Floor I've ever seen in my life- the way it glew and glowed in the tiki torch lamp light.

Edgar Allen Poe walked in drunk as hell and high on opium. I asked him to quote some lines from The Raven, he smirked at me and started dancing and smiling and laughing at me and I was like: Edgar-----that smile on your face is crazy! He had the biggest most giddiest smile on his mug that I'd ever seen. His smile just got bigger and bigger and he just kept dancing a jig in his study----I followed him into the living room where he started tap dancing and singing this Shirly Temple song- "Singing in the Rain" and he was yodeling with it. Yo da le yodale yodale hee hoo! I was laughing so hard that I peed in my pants.

Ole Edgar led me into the outdoors area- with the Patio, frog pond and Pool and I was like: Edgar Ole boy, I'm so glad we can hang out on the New- Old world and be in the Other England and tap dance and Yodel in your house. I broke out my banjotron and danced and plucked it - while Edgar started buck dancing again and he was like: "Aint never gonna read no more gothic Poems yeah! __ Only gonna yodel and dance til I die! O' Yodelee hee hoo ha ha!!! Yodel odel lay hee hoo!!!!" Dance mother fucker dance!
