The First Day

How do you do?

Is it strange

to arrange

an exchange

to derange

and gear-change

as we interchange

and estrange

to create change

in our range

of life's downrange

counterchange...?

*

An alien here?

Rather dear...

So, let me be clear:

We come with no fear

to be near

a visitor without peer,

introduced to our sphere,

and our austere

lives that adhere

to lies we revere.

Try the beer!

We're only mere

mortal steer

who live on a frontier

of an end that always lies near.

Consequences, consequences...
