A Martian Travels to Planet Earth

"Attention! Attention!"

"This is the final call for Space World Airlines flight SW406 direct to Earth. Could all passengers for this flight proceed immediately to Martian Lounge 3. Thank you for your kind attention and we hope you have a safe flight. You will be missed!"

 

Seven months later...

 

So I inhabit the quaint hamlet of Earth,

Whose streets I have wandered,

Breathed their oxygen,

Felt their dirt and grime in my skin.

 

**** sapiens are pitiful organisms

Which are plagued by deficiencies in bottle green pigment.

They are just plain nonsensical and silly

With a passion for rather outlandish hairstyles.

All of us have zero wild hair from where I originate from..

Possessing formidable odours,

Mysterious in their temperaments,

Endless bickering and ticked-off outbursts,

Endeavours to implement their godly theories,

404 Not Found Error.

 

The females bear a gadget

Identified as a handbag

It ought to be alive

Since it is secured around their necks

And is clutched solidly.

In the event that others investigate

I presume these others desire to set it free.

 

They must absolutely have deplorable eyesight

As when a number of them are

Stepping down and up a street,

They have a tendency to head straight for each other.

Some of these humans occasionally bump

Into one another and they surprisingly

Accuse themselves and each of them apologises.

Mind-boggling, isn't it?

 

The majority of them seem to have one hand

Attached to the right or left side of their skull

And chatter to it..

How bizarrely ridiculous!

 

It really is crazy just how this planet is indeed so gigantic,

And features such an abundance of land,

But yet most of these pathetic creatures,

Will never grant you any without money.

Of course, this is obviously a bit of paper!

You will discover an awful lot food everywhere,

But nevertheless countless **** sapiens go hungry;

Thanks to the worship of this outrageous paper..

They don't permit these flying feathered beings

To ascend the heavens,

Shooting them down nutty humans,

To make shoes and boots and mittens!

They cut down all the big trees,

To construct infinitely more dwellings.

 

Tick tock, Tick tock..

Where is that mystical melody emanating from?

I felt so faint and dizzy..

That sound..

Then, I spotted a crystal face

With a pair of hands and eye ***** moving right and left

It seemed similar to a bomb and gazed ominously at me,

Did the inexplicable humans plan to eradicate the entire alien population?

Have you no mercy?

O, when shall my spaceship arrive,

And take me away from this perilous planet?

 

I'm merely a martian exploring this space,

So absurd, so preposterous

Do visit us one day, we will greet you hopeless humans,

And reveal to you the splendid planet we reside in.
