"My Room was Attacked by an Alien"

My room was attacked by an Alien,

What do i do ?

That is not my shirt,

This is not my blanket,

Can this all be true?

That book is yours,

This one is mine,

Can I clean this all up in time?

Those paintbrushes are mine,

But this paint on my walls is not.

How will I explain to mom?

Those messes are not mine.

It's going to be tricky,

It looks like the scene of a crime.
