Chaitanya Adhikari
Before you called it ‘Yeti’
And now you call it ‘Alien’
My dear friends and professors!
I admire this fantastic imagination
But let me declare it again
I am not one of them
As to your findings at Harvard
I certainly had an ‘Alien Card’
When I roamed around Japan
But I ate ramen as the Japanese did
Despite the awkward moments
To learn the chopstick
And adapting to raw fish
Now the great America
Orders me to register as Alien
To stay and roam around New York
No worries, I can move spoon and fork
Except the lovely duo, Japan and America
Need other planets a man’s replica?
Why do the aliens have only two legs?
Standing upright, skiny, hairless
And just two eyes quite bulging out?
I am full of doubt.
Away from searching the distant habitants
Are you now seeking them among us?
It really looks dangerous!
My dear friends and professors!
I don’t own any flying saucers.
Call me whatever ‘Yeti’ or ‘Alien’
But, frantically, I declare again
I am not one of them!
