Reposting an oldie… An Invitation to Tea A Space Poem by Doodleslice Symbols in my head, where do they come from? Symbols in my head, what do they mean? Symbols in my head, are they a message? Would I understand if I were green? If I were green I’d get the message If I were green I’d read the plot If I were green I’d know these symbols If I were green… alas I’m not. Triangle square and circle, such simple shapes to see I sense there is a meaning: hexagon rhomboid vee I begin to sense the pattern, I start to hum their tune: “Oh won’t you come for tea, dear? We’ll meet you on your moon” “Don’t be shy, we’ve found you. Don’t be coy, you’ll see” “We’re not so very different, although our eyes are three” “We love our little gorplings. And we enjoy the fiddlesnarp” “We promise not to eat you, although our teeth are sharp” “Circle square and rhomboid, we want you to relax” “Our beam is now fixed on you, best hold on to your slacks!” “Transporters are a weird ride, they’ll make you squeal and tingle” “But once you’re on the moon, dear, we’ll sip some tea and mingle” —- #space #doodle #poem #poetry #doodleslice #aliens #spacepoem #spacepoetry
