A Terra Firma Welcome (Track 11)
It scored E-minus on its ancestry.
It stuttered on the phone. They tried extensive hypnotherapy but
it sat there like a stone. They checked its pockets, they pumped
the pentathol...stole marrow from its bones...and left it naked in
the guest room, quite alone. They debated for a year. The casebook
stretched from here to here...Quoted precedents and dissidents. And
Johnny joined the space police and searched the stars for refugees-

his finger on the stunner in the name of earthly peace. And when it
seemed that space was empty and the moon was made of cheese, they
decided on a terra firma 'welcome'. But, guess...Our guest was now
deceased...So they cut it into pieces. They sterilized them, placed
them in a case and charged admission. Now I'm watching television
and I see laughter in its eyes. I hear a rumble in the sky, They're
coming for their boy!
