"THE LITTLE GREEN MEN"



Ah, little green fellows from Venus Or some other planet afar:
From Mars or Calypso or, maybe, A world of an alien star!

According to bestselling authors-. Blavatsky to von Däniken- They taught us the skills that were needed To make super-apes into men.

They guided our faltering footsteps From savagery into the dawns
Of burgeoning civilization
	With cities and writing and bronze.
By them were the Pyramids builded; They reared the first temples in Hind;
Drew lines at Peruvian Nazca To uplift the poor Amerind.

With all of these wonders they gave us It's sad these divine astronauts
Revealed not the answers to questions That foil our most rational thoughts.

Such puzzles as riches and paupers, The problems of peace and of war,
Relations between the two sexes, Or crime and chastisement therefor.

So when we feel dim and defeated By problems immune to attack,
Let's send out a prayer electronic:
	"0 little green fellows, come back!"
