WE COME IN PEACE
a children's poem
Dear Earthlings,
By now you’ve seen our spaceships
as they hover in your sky.
We’ve traveled far to get here
and I guess you wonder why.
We come in peace to meet you,
here on Earth, away from home.
Our reasons will be clear enough
once you have read this poem.
On Mars we speak a language
that’s like English, but reversed,
so black is white on Mars
and good is bad
and last is first,
and when we say
we’re sitting down
it means we’re standing up,
and when we say the dog is old
it means he’s just a pup.
Delicious means it tastes like dirt.
I’m thrilled means I am bored.
Up means down
and heal means hurt
and hated means adored.
And when we say we’ve gone berserk
it means we’re calm and staid.
So when I said we come in peace
it meant
WE WILL INVADE!
