The Landing

the landing was successful
and the flight was smooth
coffee was delicious
and the stewardess too cool

what's it like on this planet
what am i to expect
are the natives restless
do they easily object

not that i care
because i could'nt
even if i could
by nature i would'nt

so lets be very clear
about my presence here
i come to share my language
some happiness and anguish

i'm sure you'll learn to love me
as much as i love myself
because i control The Situation
the situation does'nt control itself

Going by this first contribution to Soup I see that you have been on here 4 yrs before me; I also take it that you are very sure of yourself. Thank you for stopping by .... paul

Arene't you the clever one, injecting those last two lines about you. I've wondered why you chose to identify yourself that way. Neat poem TS; had to check out your earlier ones.
