Where I Come From
I was born on Altair, a star in the constellation of Aquila
and the twelfth brightest star in your night sky.
After my family and I decided to move here to Earth,
we quickly learned to blend in, so we could no longer fly.
Our spacecraft is buried and hidden under the Sphinx,
I have lived in numerous countries over the past 2000 years,
for it's not uncommon for Altairians to live 4000 years or so.
Careful not to reveal our true identities for humans have many fears.
Because of our longevity, we can't stay in one place permanently.
Currently, I reside in Australia, the land down under,
They are a very loving and warm people that we are fond of.
I live on my Pat Malone (alone) and is it any wonder.
Our mission here on Earth is top secret but I can reveal this much,
We are more interested in studying your various kinds of birds,
For the human race to us is rather dull and frankly quite absurd,
We also have no need for language but are fascinated by your words.
There are 72 alien species living amongst you all here that we know,
Not all of them are friendly like us and there are many in politics,
The most threatening of them all to our peace are the Reptilians,
other gentler species reside on farms or dwell out in the sticks.
I hope this has shed some light on my background and life till now,
I truly wish I could divulge further information to you thus far,
Your governments are already suspicious and we don't want that,
Just know that originally all mankind first ventured from a star.
