They all have jet boats.
They all have Jet Skis
And Dogs,
Sometimes two of them,
Often aggressive & all off-leash.
They all have a Mrs or a Mr literally within reach,
Who is their metaphorical Siamese twin.
They all can’t bear the insanity brought on by sitting alone with their own minds.
They reproduce so easily & make exact mini copies of themselves.
They are banal & their copies are banal.
They don’t read books at all.
They avoid anything involving a call to a higher self.
In fact, they actively rally against it.
They are the reason the authorities keep schtum about the truth of alien life.
While there are many more billions of them than us,
With that kind of man,
Mankind is definitely not ready yet.
And neither are ‘The Off-Worlders’.
They didn’t travel all that way for that.
