PROBLEM SOLVED

 

A spaceship landed on the lawn

out stepped some aliens all forlorn.

When the Border Official said, uneasily,

I can’t let you stay, you’re here illegally,

you’ll have to re-route and fly to Rwanda!’

at which the aliens downcast Commander

said ‘Please not that, don’t penalise us,

we’ll come quietly, we’ll get on the bus

and make our way to an asylum hotel

where we can settle and peacefully dwell.

while you hunt the gangs and break their cartel.

But the Official replied ‘Their location’s unknown

and your presence here we cannot condone’,

at which the Commander, in pleading tone,

said, ‘Please I implore you don’t send us home,

and if you’ll allow us here to reside

I’ll disclose to you where the traffickers hide:

they stay on a planet way up in the stars

in a big red house on the planet Mars.

And this gave the official a great idea

a panacea,

to solve the problems of immigration

which are causing such problems across the nation,

by knocking  the idea of Rwanda on the head

they could send all migrants to Mars instead.
