A Visitor With a Message
Klaatu was an alien who came from a planet near a distant star.
To deliver a message to the people of the earth, he came far.
Klaatu’s home was far beyond the orbit of our moon.
The time of the year happened to be in the summer month of June.
His spaceship landed in the middle of the capital city of Washington.
A gadget Klaatu carried was mistakenly believed to be a stun gun.
One of the soldiers hastily shot the alien in the arm.
Gort the robot appeared to pull his master away from harm.
Klaatu lived incognito among the people of DC.

Based on the 1951 film “The Day the Earth Stood Still”
