Looking for Life on Planet Z783
three of our spaceships should have reach Planet Z783 by now
this report pleased Planet 3455X’s commander, Prime King Cow.
it had been twenty-six years since their spaceships had gotten through.
every inhabitant they saw back then was dressed in red, white and blue.
loud sounding explosions shot upwards and exploded into glitter too.
they are all talking about the fourth of July said their leader HooTwo.
team decided it meant that everyone had to wear red, white and blue.
this time all of the inhabitants were decorated with stars on their heads.
they have blinking red, purple, yellow, green lights one commander said.
everyone we speak to is totally mute too, it is almost as if they are all dead.
tiny colorful shapes are attached to them too said assistant commander Fred.
prime King Cow was disappointed, decided to try another planet next time.
he was looking for creatures who could converse in either writing or rhyme.
were they in the least bit friendly? He asked, giving himself a thread of hope.
the spaceship commanders shook their heads and replied back “um, nope.”
