Little green men.

Today I am heading out to walk in the Lake District with friends who are fortunate enough to live here all the time. I am sure that during the course of the day I will see some really beautiful scenery. There will of course still be the need to keep a vigilant eye on where we are placing our feet. Sadly there are still those who do not clear up after their dogs on public footpaths and tracks.

It is almost impossible to walk anywhere without finding the evidence that humans have been where we are before us. It never fails to amaze me that cans used to carry liquid drinks get heavier once the liquid has been consumed. This has to be the case because it is possible to carry them to where the liquid is consumed then too heavy to carry to a rubbish bin or home. Of course, we could look at all of this and blame it on the little green men. 

Once upon a time, the planet was a beautiful place and then for no reason, all sorts of litter and rubbish began to appear all over the place. There also appeared little animal looking things which people called squidgies alongside this. These were really strange creatures and nobody was ever able to catch them because they just seemed to disappear when almost caught.

Then one day a young boy managed to catch one. Everybody was excited to see this creature and science wanted to learn more about it. A broadcast for television was arranged when the creature would be dissected. There was a huge audience from all over the world as the broadcast went on air.

The creature was placed before the cameras and the procedure began. As the creature was cut open all sorts of litter and rubbish began to spill from it. Then four little green men appeared and said they were from Mars.  People were very angry when they discovered all this rubbish was being dumped all over the place by them.

The little men seemed pleasant enough and began to explain. They said they wanted to be a part of the earth people because it all looked amazing to them. They said they had studied earth for years from afar. They said they had learned how to adapt and possibly act just like humans so that they could fit it and be accepted so they learned how to make rubbish and dump it all over the place just like humans did.

Oh, that we had the power to see ourselves as others see us.

Have a marvellous day I am off to walk in the Lakes District with my friends.
