Aliens came looking when the A-bomb alerted.
Humans with nuclear fission had flirted.
They listened to our radio and watched our TV.
They turned to their buddy and said, 'Golly gee!

I think you underestimate the tenacity of life Whatever time it takes, a life form will exist until it can once more live on the surface. Whatever it takes. Make Oxygen Grow food in light artificial. all a matter of procedure. Life will prevail. An ark under the surface as well? Eventually life on earth phase two. If that doesn't work out back down for another phase. courage.
Yep, there is likely to be dandelions (see my last 2 poems) , hornets, and spiders, but no humans.
My Turn At Being The Prophet (thought I'd take a shot at a sonnet) Let us build a hole unto the ground And with survival kit the place surround Let making oxygen be primal move If survival wouldst your temper prove Two or three hundred years perhaps We'll wait beneath withal with ample naps Then take a peek and see if stink prevails And if such be the case what good your rails.

Good poem, but there is no surviving a nuclear war. It will bring on nuclear winter that will last until all plant life is gone. Radiation on the surface will last thousands of years.

humorous but also profound when aliens come, I'll be embarrassed to be around thanks Spock
Thanks for the kind words, and it rhymed too! I would also be embarrassed.
A wise look at what the aliens probably would have said. I enjoyed this very much.
I have long said that if aliens came here and asked me about the population, I would tell them that I too am just visiting and not part of humanity. It is embarrassing at the least.
Good idea. I wouldn't want to be Captain Kirk with Q putting him on trial for all the crimes of Humanity.
Wow. I thought at first it was going to be humorous, but it became gloom and doom. Did you ever see the movie The Postman starring Kevin Kostner about life in America after a nuclear war? Very interesting!
Thanks. No I don't think I have seen that one, but there are many with that basic premise.
