Sky Tripping With My Little Green Buddy
A poem about showing an alien a favorite thing.
Never have I ever seen a human so full of life and joy,
And while we run around together I can't tell if you're a girl or boy,
From the moment that your ship touched down, we were destined to be friends,
Not caring that you're not from Earth, just having fun until your visit ends.
You said take me to your leader, but I didn't want you to leave so soon,
Our leaders make me wish I could take a trip, and live on the moon,
I wanted to show you my favorite things, but you had a list of your own,
So we decided to do your list first, and it was better than going alone.
We flew across the country, and shut the nukes all down,
Then went to have many beers, one in each bar in town,
We hit up the fast food joints and you sampled all our treats,
But we were so drunk, you puked all over the streets.
We flew to Russia to shut down their toys and slow the destruction of Ukraine,
We partied in Moscow til the brink of dawn and drank ourselves insane,
You let me fly your ship to Rome for real Italian pie,
We bumped the leaning tower before getting high enough in the sky.
Flying back to America you said it was my turn to play guide,
I told you it was about damn time, but we'd had a wild ride,
We flew across the Statue of Liberty, and across the New York sky,
We stopped at a Chicago weed dispensary, and I got you really high,
We stopped along the Mississippi, and I taught you how to fish,
But we had one more stop to make and enjoyed one final dish.
We landed on a beach I knew that had the most wonderful sunsets,
You marveled at the beauty that not one human forgets,
This was our final stop, on a tour of a world that needs saving,
You promised we'd do just fine if we'd only start behaving.
I asked for your advice,
You didn't hesitate or think twice,
Our trip to see my favorite thing was something I did teach,
You told me, "If you want them to behave, show them your magical beach."
