First Contact With Extraterrestrials

First Contact With Extraterrestrials 

By Elton Camp

From deep in space the voice was detected
“Prepare, as our arrival on earth is expected.”

First contact with an advanced alien race
An astonishing event mankind must face

Voice continued, “Your history will change.
For whatever we desire, we will arrange.”

“Respect us and bow to our superior power
In fear & trembling we expect you to cower.”

The huge craft’s coming was quite a sight
With a humming sound & flashing light

At the appointed place, the spaceship landed
Throngs were gathered to do as commanded

Four aliens majestically emerged from the ship
But the group’s leader stumbled and took a slip

The others looked aghast from the craft’s door
With derisive laughter the crowd began to roar

The first impression didn’t go according to plan
And they failed to get the upper hand on man

Hey Samia, Thanks for reading and for your kind comment. I try to do mostly humor writing on subjects that most wouldn't pick. Elton
