I think I created a new persona for this one. I'm not sure I like him. P.S. I wasn't drinking. He was.

Welcome, dude! Can you hear me?
Does your brain understand?
I hauled ass here to greet you
When I saw your ship land!
____
Whoa, that's crazy! I hear you,
In my language, no less!
But your mouth isn't moving -
Tele... whatzit, I guess?
____
Ok, cool. Yeah, I'm frosty.
Not to worry, man, we're good.
Just jump on the back there,
And I'll show you the 'hood!
____
Yeah, it's safe, bro – or sis?
It's a bike! It's got class!
Like a car but with 2 wheels,
And it's cheaper on gas.
____
Oh, that's somethin' we get
From the oil underground.
See aaaaaall those big thingies
Bobbin' up and back down?
____
Yeah, we burn it, and it runs stuff.
We make stuff with it, too!
See that bottle on the ground there?
And those bags? That old shoe?
____
Yeah, it does make the air stink,
But we'll fix that one day.
And now we're doin' solar,
And li-thi-um, and, hey!
____
We've got new-cooler power!
That's clean energy!
Well, it killed a few fish,
But there's more in the sea!
____
Oh, and over there's Pantex,
Where we make little “boomers”
And some parts for the big ones.
That's where I got these “toomers.”
____
And those big ones are awesome!
We hide 'em all over.
Dude, they nuked that one island
And that war was over!
____
Oh, hey, man, we're gonna'
Be headed your way!
Yeah, we're launchin' stuff out there!
Couple dozen a day!
____
Wait, bud, hey, where you goin'?
We ain't started the tour.
Is that your middle finger?
Yeah, okay, real mature!
____
Oh, sure, you called friends!
Man, that's not even fair!
What are all those ships doin'
To that town over there?
____
Hey, man, we don't stand
For that crap in these parts!
Shit, my clothes are on fire!
Oh, that burns! Damn, that smarts!
