I Just Found Out

I just found out that aliens have landed
They touched down in the desert now they're stranded

Our military is headed to the scene
I just hope these aliens aren't very mean

We have surrounded their spaceship
We await their emergence , as cameras click

Suddenly a door opens and an alien comes out
Cameras   flash and people begin to shout

Then utter silence as we wait for the alien to speak
We hope they speak english, and not a language that's greek  (to us)

The situation is tense, and it could become unstable
Then the alien said  "Do any of you Earthlings have a jumper cable"
