The Old Observatory























        “Earthling,” the brute half-gargled in my ear,
        “Our carelessness led you to find us here.”
        So they could speak our language!—and why not?
        What all those TV shows may lack in plot

        They make up for in sheer verbosity,
        Enough to sate the curiosity

        Of any stranger—quite enough to teach
        All the complexities of human speech.
