First Contact
The radio transmission came from space
Originating in a galaxy arm’s spiral spinning place
And it returned in 16 days cycle runs
A transmission was so very exciting and fun
Scientists were baffled by these radio emissions
Until one day it changed in its transmission
Then a scientist was able to interpret the message
Being astounded to what was in the passage
You see it wasn’t so inspiring
It was a request for tinea cream for a rash so annoying
And they wondered how it would be taken by the population
Such a simple request as a first message with no elation.
