Brilliant, David. I eyeballed this contest and my mind drew a blank. Love what you came up with and I’m rather chuffed that, having debated who was speaking when and finally deciding that it was all the interviewer… I was actually right…. Yeehaw! Smashing. Best of luck in the contest. Terry

Thanks Terry, you’re bang on the money, this one would never have worked if the alien had actually said a word, so I’m hoping it still qualifies as an interview, or at least an original attempt at one, glad you enjoyed, cheers David

David, you're tops. Such a funny write. Had to think hard who is who but the ending was great.

I’m afraid the Alien never got a word in sideways Victor, the interviewer is the one doing all the talking, and making all faux pas as well, glad you enjoyed, cheers David

Dear David, your poem is a hilarious rollercoaster of wit and self-deprecation. Your portrayal of the interviewer's escalating nervousness and awkwardness is both relatable and entertaining. The way you play with language and absurdity creates a delightful atmosphere that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. David, it’s a brilliant commentary on human folly and our tendency to stumble over our words in moments of excitement. Thanks for the laugh! - Blessings, Daniel

Good to see you Daniel, I was actually pondering whilst writing this one, who amongst us would be qualified to interview an alien, my guess a child would probably ask all the right questions, or at least the most relevant ones, yeah just having a bit of fun here trying to get round the awkwardness of such a situation, thanks you so much for stopping by, cheers David

Ahaha ha! Hysterical and educational for me, anyhoo. The 4th stooge? I did an interview with the Three Stooges. Fun times! Well thought out. Great entry

"A Conversation With The Three Stooges" 2/9/2022 I'm really proud of it! Do you remember Margarita's "Conversation with Sherlock Holmes" she won the big prize! check them both.

Heya Anaya, I mean what in hell are we supposed to ask an alien if we do meet one someday, don’t answer that question lol! I look forward to reading your 3 stooges one, are you still working on it? Cheers David

Ha! Seems like the interview did not go well... Guess thats a human trend when they face something they do not know or do not trust... nicely done..

A human trend indeed, sometimes we ask all the wrong questions with the right intentions or vice versa lol! Thanks for stopping by S1, cheers David

Hilarious David! I once worked with a shorter than me guy and one conversation went a bit like this but with 'little' etc. he was like "everything was fine til you started apologising..." Haha luckily the awkwardness was short lived (oops better give him a call and say sorry) :) *he was a friend of mine I'm sure I was forgiven

Don’t stay on the phone too long to him, yeah this one kind of started out serious and then awkwardness set into the conversation so I just kept it going for as long as I could lol! Cheers David
