The Aliens and the Eggplant Emoji

When aliens land

And they want to see earth

Asking me for a hand

In what is of worth

I ask them if on their planet

Do they use emojis?

They reply with a no, tell how you began it

Give something to show me

They can be fun and silly

Something to express

The little green ones shall be

a way to represent them and impress

They enjoy sharing and laughing

A new excitement found others deserve

into our ideas they will be tapping

The little faces bring happiness they will serve

They wonder if there is a green eggplant

I ask if they found out what that meant

To have purple ones, we can't

But we don't have purple ones either, it's just the intent

They shook their heads and held one up

Oh, it usually doesn't mean the fruit

At my description they were stumped

Then cackled and found it a hoot
