Nocturnes: Thoughts Of An Alien Chicken Farmer
We do not like these strutting humanoids,
and even less their scampering androids.
Lacking antennae; not one tentacle;
how can they be considered beautiful?
But they insist on that consideration.
Such arrogance deserves humiliation.
Such pride betrays lack of civilization.
Come right down to it, they are noxious pests
in every starlane that their kind infests.
We need a system to destroy their nests
as well as that green planet of their birth.
We need to herd them back there to their earth,
and then obliterate it, quick, with fusion:
the effort of this mass extermination
will bring the nasty problem to conclusion.
