It will be like a ticketless raffle. ............cool. useless, right? Us Humans.......how about We? or do you mean humans in the u.s.? ha! When they arrived they said first things first, It looks like we’re on to a winner, We’re going to need drinks to quench our thirst, We’ve heard you make a lovely dinner. ....................LOVE IT! it was the title that drew me to this poem. and i was well-rewarded. and 'speaking' of hyphens: i would have understood this (to follow) line more quickly if you had used hyphens between the first three words so i would read them as 'one word'. Know it all Humans with an arrogance to match, . at first i thought it was my kind..............i mean THE ALIENS.......who were speaking again to humans, telling humans to KNOW it ALL, but that didn't go with the rest of the sentence. i've added this to MyPoemList. i really enjoyed it: the storytelling, the english command (close enough) , the rhyming, and the almost-surprise ending. BUT WE are not such a bad lot. and humans don't REALLY taste very good in curry; believe me. :) thanks for sharing.
this reminds me a bit of Twilight Zone TV episode. it was about Serving Humans. this poem now goes into my monthly 'a showcase by and for PH poets'. it can be found in my poem list by searching my list for 'July 2017's'. i am now only giving the authors' names and the links to the poems i use in the showcase. thanks. bri :)
