Before we drove them all into extinction
(for common good), Earth'ns earned this distinction:
the endless winter of their discontent
never thawed into spring's verve, or a summer's
delight. They surely marched to different drummings'
percussions---like the fascist Ezra's pounding
which, to our dislike of them, was redounding
without the least shred of our cosmic thrumming.
So we decided quickly to prevent
their entry into space as "up and comers."
