INVASHUN


from the ABC set Poems

We zkoff Invader burgers,
and we duz not zwink it strange,
koz they did not come with zazap guns,
they came with fast food chains.

We zwar Invader logos,
on our jackets, caps and tops,
koz they did not come with ka-boomships,
they came with clothing shops.

We zqueak Invader lingo,
learned vrum alien T.V.
and, when we zroom up, aliens
iz what we zwub to be.

Koz they own the zarg-est houses
and they zwoosh the zazz-est cars
and their multi-global corporations
rule over our stars.

Many thanks, Fatboy.

I've seen so many stories about military invasions from space, I wondered what it would be like if there was an alien economic/cultural invasion instead.
