Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Waste of Time and Space

E.T. arrives at planet Earth,
And beams to the surface to see
If there is life of any worth.
Beams into Washington, D.C.
The State of the Union Address
Has just ended, and humans there
Communicate, E.T. does guess.
E.T. listens to what all share.
Lots of hot air, full of nonsense.
Self serving seems to dominate
Selves with little intelligence.
Up to the ship, E.T. does state,

"Beam me up, because it is clear,"
"There's no intelligent life here."
