An Unusual Noise! – David Anderson
3An Unusual Noise!
David Anderson
Woodford, NSW
It made a most unusual noise as it landed
On the ground at Gloria Park
It came far from the Andromeda Galaxy
An alien Noah’s Ark
The Hazelbrook people gathered around
Some eager – some filled with fear
The Fire Brigade instigated a sizzle
With sausages, onions and beer
‘Why have they come – and will they attack?’
The townsfolk stood there in awe
When all of a sudden a ‘swish’ was heard
From the silvery opening door
A hush passed around – while people gasped
As a creature came tumbling down
The ramp from the ship – and then with a squeal
It finally fell to the ground
‘We’ve made it!’ it shouted. ‘We’ve finally arrived
Our new home we’ve certainly found.’
‘Illegal aliens!’ an old chap roared
‘Get the guv’ment to turn them around!’
‘We’ll surely not harm you,’ the creature replied
As he waved his four arms to the crowd
‘Our numbers are few – our animals too
We’d love to stay if allowed.’
His family emerged with their pets by their side
He was right – there were only a few
‘Let them stay – there’s no harm,’ some said
While others objected: ‘Ship ’em out on a boat to Nauru!’
Then the aliens sneezed and started to cough
While their eyes started streaming with water
Their animals rushed – back into the craft
While the creature took hold of his daughter
‘Another nice planet that’s so full of allergies
We’ll have to give this one a miss!’
As he ran to the spaceship – then turned around
And blew all the people a kiss.
‘Goodbye!’ he said, and rolled up the ramp
Then he shut the silvery door
Commotion and smoke flew out of the saucer
As it lifted – took off with a roar
The townsfolk shrugged – the brigade packed up
While the children played with their toys
‘They were really nice,’ some said, while others were frightened
‘I’ve never heard such an unusual noise!’

Nice one Dave, a very telling comment on the absurd politicisation of the on-going farce about boat-people. They are human beings after all.
Thank you Arturo
