Aliens

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂

Aliens have been visiting they say

At a Congress meeting in U.S of A.

They won’t land on Earth  - they’ve taken one look

And buggered off – let us off the hook.

 

After their survey what caused them to flee?

I’d have done the same if they were me:

The planet’s burning, humans are breeding

Or have been like rabbits while they fight wars……….

    I was wondering where you were.
    Good to hear you.

    • Doggerel Dave

      Nah - still here. I do pop in from time to time, but nowhere near as often as i did in the past....

      Thanks for responding.

      So very true Dave, if I were one of those aliens that I do believe exist I wouldn't land on this planet either.

        Thanks for that, Andy. My feeling is that life exists everywhere it can in the universe and beyond. However, interstellar travel? Please, they need to up their medication...

        Agreed on the state of the world, it seems.

        You knows E.T.'s not gone home really! lol.

        • Doggerel Dave

          You just keep a low profile and fool everybody, orchi?

          • orchidee

            He's in disguise, in my shed! lol.

            • Doggerel Dave

              Not You Then? Disappointing........

            • Bella Shepard

              I'm so glad to see you here my friend. I read and I chuckled all the way through. If aliens have been monitoring our TV and radio waves, it's hard to imagine they would be at all interested in us, except perhaps as specimens. A friend of mine texted to tell me about the hearings, which I was unaware of, and still am. That tells you how much I pay attention to our congress. With all the problems we have, this is the best they can do? Look forward to seeing you here dear Dave.

              • Doggerel Dave

                Thanks for that, Bella.
                Sounds to me that Australian media pays more attention to American politics than many do at home.... Unsurprising in a way - your actual human population has many members who have to expend all their energy and attention in survival at an individual level, no doubt.
                BTW I'm backing the Republicans if they manage to sabotage the AUKUS deal....😜

                • Bella Shepard

                  I guess my approach is to pay attention to the important stuff, but it all seems to devolve into party politics all too quickly. Take care my friend!

                • PoetVids - I am WriteBeLight only in Video Version :)

                  I live in the US and I like what you wrote. I have the same questions in mind. Nice to hear from you again 😉

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Cheers PV - I can only shake my head at times. But Australia will follow the US wherever it wants to go...

                    am glad to see you found your pen you old dog .. I happen to be a believer & agree with every single word .. Neville

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Mine or theirs, Sir?

                      • Neville



                        ............... yours

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          Thanks for that - a little reassurance can go a long way.

                        • sorenbarrett

                          Rabbits indeed, run at the first sign of trouble, multiply like mad, and expect magic tricks to be pulled out of a hat. I have had rabbit to eat, don't like it much.

                          • Doggerel Dave

                            Rabbit not to your taste, then? Sounds like you have comparisons going on there...during your long and chequered life Soren, you weren't a passenger on that plane which crashed in the Andes.....?

                          • Thomas W Case

                            Funny stuff.

                          • Doggerel Dave

                            Not funny - ridiculous.
                            Thanks for the call.

                          • Thad Wilk

                            Some 'other aliens' seem
                            to want to come anyway.
                            Free hotels, medical and cash
                            who'd not want to stay¿?
                            Great read, thought provoking
                            🤔 loved it!
                            Best regards ✌️ Thad

                            • Doggerel Dave

                              Not talking 'illegal immigrants' here, Thad? Wait 'til you get further into some of my stuff.... I'll still be here........
                              Take care, and above all, Peace!
