An Alien Reports Human Contact
An Alien Reports Human Contact
By Elton Camp
A UFO pilot informs his superiors
The planet with bipedal life forms teems
Their lives depend on an object, it seems
Which, in their possession, they keep
Except at the times when they sleep
As soon as they begin to rove around
It will emit a strange electronic sound
To their ear opening they will press
In speech sounds began to address
Although it might seem rather odd
It may be how they worship their god
They talk a bit and then there’s a break
Perhaps from their god instructions take
A signal, the life forms needn’t wait
But communication can also initiate
They enter numbers and press Send
Once more, their worship may begin
A planet with intelligence so low
Is no place that our race should go
To come here, no profit can bring
From them we can’t learn a thing
