The Odium From Beyond Poem by Hubert Wilson

Incredulous was the crowd!
No questions were allowed.
Craft had descended from the sky.
Opening to reveal the strangest guy.
Making futile attempts to communicate.
Phenomenally awkward his efforts to relate.
Extraordinary was the crowd's confusion.
Totally incomprehensible was the creature's spoken delusion.
Excusing ever so politely his verbal mush.
Not one person interrupted his welcomed departure in the mystified hush.
The Earth again stood still - but then needed a push after another speech by George W. Bush!

A special 'thank you' to the scholarly Pat Buchanan as the Great Erudite, the loquacious Michael Rennie as Klaatu and the taciturn Lock Martin as the Gort the Robot. 'Klaatu barada nikto! '
