Listen to poem:
Stranger At Door
What if an Alien
knocked on your door
would you be shocked
at the intrusion?
Just "Hang on will Yah",
the eggs are burning.
Would Google do
a translation?
Perhaps, perhaps not.
Perhaps DuckDuckGo?
Hand gestures may work
but what if the being
had tentacles?
What if the being had
no eyes as such,
no ears to hear
a conversation.
Blurts to blubs,
hand gestures, grunts,
sighs of surprise,
clearly fall flat
for such a momentous
occasion.
"Can you call back tomorrow"
"When I'm dressed"
"The kids would like to meet Yah"
I'll be better prepared,
next time.
