Alien Invasion

We were invaded peacefully
There was no sign of strife
Then they went back to their own planet
To find intelligent life
The Major told the Five Star
Yes sir, I did read all the reports
And I hurried to the men’s room
Because I had to change my shorts
Had they caught the alien invaders
The world would have been in shock
And we would have went to war
Because earthlings are too dumb to talk
We might have ordered bombings
Because we were afraid to take a chance
And if the bombs were ineffective
We’d have probably peed our pants
We use our natural resources
But we never use our ears
And our leaders manipulate our feelings
By playing on our fears
If you don’t believe me
I hope this will make you smile
I like your planet earthling
Think I’ll stay here for a while.

well necessity is the mother of all invention. and 9's growing stronger everyday. anytime i've heard i'll stay here for a while it's never been a good thing. just a candy coated threat. so i have to ask. do you believe in dreams...

Nice turn at the end. You never know who's living among us. The sad part is: I don't think we're ready for an invasion. If they comes we would probably piss our pants.

Wow, do you score big for me with this write, Vince! Indeed, I fear we may be "too dumb to talk" if we ever have an encounter with alien life forms. (I'm one who believes they have already visited and are part of our geneology.) You convey well the way cowardice seems to take first place. Very enjoyable write, Vince, especially the way you taunt readers with the last four lines. One for my favorites. Great work! Love, Carolyn
