Met an Alien Today

  Met an alien today
    on the way up my driveway

  He shook my hand, said ‘How-do-you-do’
    I smiled, said ‘All’s well;’ hope the same for you too

  I asked him his name, where he was from
    The alien stood there, suddenly dumb  

  I assured him I wasn’t from the government
    ‘Whew,’ he sighed, with my explanation content… 

  We talked and talked for well over an hour
     A budding relationship in first flower  

  … But as my new friend put it before he had to go
    ~ ‘Your government will never believe you, you know’

Your meeting with the alien has been quite interesting ! His parting words hold much depth and point to a great truth with all governments everywhere!
