We watched the tragedy unfold

We did as we were told

We bought and sold

 

It was the greatest show on earth

But then it was over

 

We ohhed and aahed

We drove our racing cars

We ate our last few jars of caviar

And somewhere out there in the stars

A keen-eyed look-out

Spied a flickering light

 

Our last hurrah

 

And when they found our shadows

Grouped around the TV sets

They ran down every lead

They repeated every test

 

They checked out all the data on their lists

And then the alien anthropologists

Admitted they were still perplexed

 

But on eliminating every other reason

For our sad demise

They logged the only explanation left

 

"This species has amused itself to death"

Done
