Aliens

Dragon loves his penguins! Oh that we know quite well. So…Dragon ask for their own little, silver, fire retardant, suits, do tell! Oh Lord A Mercy! The little penguins dress up sooo very cute, too! But leave it to our government, to get mixed up, as a spy drone, flew thru! Yep, The Men in Black, were at our door, to pick the, little aliens up! Now remember this is division 6, they follow orders, right or wrong. And do you know any Bureaucracy that can solve a problem, once it’s made? When we proved they were our penguins, and they weren’t from outer space… They gave their crazy orders to the INF for deportation as foreigners, anyway. We THEN had to get them working visas, for our illustrious, and bountiful zoo. But you know bureaucracies when they get started, they do, whatever, they must do. So they passed the orders along to the NSA to investigate the penguins, right away. A full fledge investigation went on, to make sure they’re not terrorists, in any way. Homeland security, now, had to add their names upon their proverbial, no fly, list. The CIA was slow, to join into the fray, but once they got started! What can I say? Don’t forget they now felt, their toes, had been thoroughly tromped upon, this day! Honestly! All I wanted to do, by now… Was to get the heck OUT OF TOWN! But, we had to follow protocol’s yellow tape, all the way, slowly, down the line! Our mayor’s nose was out of joint, as no one listened to him, along the way. But the Governor was in his element, so to save them from being whisk away… He sent their case directly to the State Supreme Court, where bail could be made! Here nothing could be decided upon, since they aren’t human, so then we were sent… To the highest court in the land! But the Constitution was foggy, on this bent. So Congress wrote a bill, to give Constitutional rights to the penguins, everyone! A loophole, became evident, on granting citizenship cause they’re animals, You all! Until, The President, with a stroke of his pen on an Executive Order… Granted Zoo Citizenship… So at this point we were finally able to go back home! And remember, those cute little silver fire retardant suits… They fit into! They were thrown into the trash can! As we hid from more, snooping satellites, too. Spying had started the whole thing, and from buying so much fire retardant cloth! What can I say? Got to love a government that can protect us… from ourselves!
