Assimilate

Assimilate

Alien lizard people, with your space craft so fair!
Alien lizard people, come to earth, you dare?!
We will not buy from your fruit stand of grog!
You conquer lands so well; in the pea soup fog!

Why do you speak to us with a forked tongue?
Why do you hang some days from a ladder rung?
Where did you come from in your tea cup craft?
Why do you ford our rivers on a leaking raft?

Your scaly skin glistens in the noon day sun,
It is your dead bug breath; that makes us want to run!
I would shake hands; but you keep eating my friends!
If we don't assimilate; you'll dry bodies in the winds!

Think I got the message; when you crushed that last city!
You hate the human race; and you'll have no pity!

I always get a chuckle about those who want to meet aliens.
We can’t get along with ourselves what makes anyone think
humans could get along with them. Nice work.

Hi, Jim, first of all I must have accidentally unfollowed you😱 my apologies for that. Like this poem for the feeling you get: we will not go down without a fight, we will not go blindly into the night (President's speech in Independence day). I always want to go into the fray with my colors flying and guns ablaze (yet never do, war ain't good for nothing)

War of the world's.
That is plausible that they emerge. 
Like the horrors of old it takes generations to see the true face of the microscopic.

Nicely written Jim and well written and imagineered fun write with a little something also added to make one think at that, after reading.
And you beat me to it on recent events with its piece-meal partial disclosure not full disclosure on the subject.
It was called Greta Thunberg's Lawn and first contact, maybe another time. 
Enjoyed reading your poem my friend and full honours to you.
And watch the skies!

this must be one of the very best rhyming alien poems in the whole uni verse Jim, but not as we know it :)
