First Contact, First Slice

In a vast universe, on a blue orb we're spun,

An alien landed, its journey begun.

Curious eyes, so wide and so bright,

Eager to witness Earth's singular sight.

"Come with me," I said with a grin,

"To taste a marvel, from outside to within."

We strolled through the streets, neon signs all aglow,

To a corner with scents that made their nose grow.

"Behold!" I proclaimed, with flourish and flair,

A pizza with toppings, in the open night air.

Golden crust crispy, cheese melted just right,

Pepperoni that danced in the pale moonlight.

The alien looked, then took a big bite,

Eyes sparkled with wonder, pure earthly delight.

For in that one slice, our essence unfurls,

Taste, passion, and joy — the heart of our world.

So if ever you wonder what first to display,

To a being from galaxies far, far away,

Remember the pizza, beneath the stars glow,

For sometimes food helps the best friendships grow!
