a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal

Well today was
productive insofar that I got some work done on my book and I managed
to get a schedule to get me off the pill that's been giving me some
nasty side effects(the exhaustion). Once those are gone my
productivity can go back up. Plus my friend CJ may make it over this
weekend. Yay! My Aunt Linda visited today along with my Grandma and
much shenanigans occurred and it was fun. (The part with the
robot-spider clowns fighting a war with the penguin mafia was a bit
rough though) Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Alien
Bears Some News
Hello humans!
I'm an alien from another world and I've got some bad news. I've
decided that in order to make it easier on you I'd tell you the news
in song!
Oh
humanity...
Oh
humanity...
Your world
is a wonderful place,
On our world
we envy your race.
Oh
humanity...
Oh
humanity...
We want for
all your planet's things,
Including
the water in your springs.
Oh
humanity...
Oh
humanity...
We even want
every orange,
And also
every sporange.
Oh
humanity...
Oh
humanity...
But we just
can't,
Oh we just
can't.
Share it
with you!
Oh
humanity...
Oh
humanity...
When our
ships emerge from the rift,
Your deaths
will be very, very swift.
Oh
humanity...
Oh
humanity...
I'm sorry to
do you so much wrong,
But I do
hope you enjoyed my song!

Comment: I didn't make the word sporange up.
It is a real English word that barely rhymes with orange. It is an
alternative for the word sporangium which is a term for a part of a
fern or similar plant. Yes, the aliens want all of our ferns!
