Diversity Pays Off

When you visit other planets, Always take a gift with you. It builds rapport with aliens; Who’ll happily swap with you. If you like their world, You’ll be invited back. You’ll learn a lot of things from them; To get Earth back on track. Many planets have been through, The same problems Earth has been. These problems may just cease to brew; Once others, you befriend. Diversity, it has its charms; Especially if we do no harm.

You charming poem just pulled me into the possibilities here, hook, line and sinker! (And I thought that I was at least somewhat rational). Nice write! :) gw

Thank you Gershon, I am thrilled that it "pulled" you "into the possibilities"; I'd rather err on the side of possible than to negate all possibilities.

ML, wouldn't it be great to be able to converse with beings from other planets, get their help to solve our problems, well done ~

We certainly need someone's help on this planet. It would be nice, provided that they were good hearted aliens. Thanks.

'Earth gets by, with a little help, from her friends' - this made me think of that song, maybe I'll turn it into a proper poem, thanks for the inspiration!

When one thinks about it, I think there's a Beatles song for just about everything. Anyway, yes we do and thanks again.

Snappy advice, and sage too, as I was planning to visit other planets as soon as I build my spaceship. Maybe by Tuesday. I like the happiness of the poem, and the wise advice.

Oh hey, Can you build me one, as well? How much will it cost and when can you start? Oh and would it include a seat belt for my cat? Seriously, thanks Caren.
