Tit For Tat

The night-shift on Lumparok nine Woke up to an ear piercing whine “Some Dumb earthling loon Has just bombed our moon And knocked the damned thing out of line. “Prepare the atomic collection And launch a high powered selection How dare Humans sin To save their own skin We’ll show them a lunar deflection.” * At NASA there’s resounding cheers With clapping and hugging and beers “Hooray, it’s a hit It moved just a bit We’re safe for a million years.”

Thanks, Kim. I actually think this is a technology that will be required sooner or later (probably the only time ever that humans will become a beneficial species) but bombing distant worlds surely holds potential for retaliation. Live long and prosper. Terry
