matthew the monkey kept food on the moon
his favorite grub strewn over the dunes
who'd build a rocket to steal his burgers
or piles of tortillas filled with cheddar
red, yellow, and green curries sloshing down
gulleys of naan and rice where moon-mice drown
if you reckon you've seen a UFO
it might have been a gyro or taco
he planted six different types of pasta
next to the flower bed of lasagna
we cannot forget the ice cream and cake
afloat the middle of the coffee lake
did I forget the pizza and grilled cheese
the french toast perfectly still with no breeze
he likes omelets and bacon and biscuits
and pulled pork sandwiches served with brisket
is there anything matthew will not eat
his gluttony is extremely complete
though be careful if you visit him too
you might also end up in matthew's stew

Why Humans Never Want To Contact Aliens
…
Imagine sometime in the far future we pick up some type of signal from an alien civilization. Since we mastered harnessing an infinite amount of energy using our perpetual motion engines, it’s pretty easy for us to hop in our spaceships and break the speed of light.
Once there we scan for life and find none. Puzzled, we instead find that the entire planet is in a constant state of creation and destruction due to out of control chemical chain reactions. In addition, the harmful radiation from the nearby star, and the corrosive gases in the atmosphere would make life as we know it impossible. And yet, we are still receiving crude repetitive transmissions from this planet.
The captain orders a team sent to the surface to ascertain the planet from the ground. Our anti-matter suits should be effective at reflecting any sort of hostile matter or radiation that would kill us outright. We beam down to the planet, and what we find is horrendous:
Everything on the planet is hostile. From the tiniest groups of molecules to the largest object, anything that moves on the planet will chemically assimilate anything else. Though we are repulsed, we are vaguely curious. From razor sharp blades, to pointed objects, to poisons, to lethal traps and exothermic reactions, everything has a way to consume energy.
Fearing for our lives, we beam back to our ship, carefully decontaminate the team, then place a warning force field around the entire solar system. We build a science station with a nova bomb on a nearby planet in case the contagion spreads, and then hastily head back home.
What would have happened had this planet been exposed to infinite energy? It’s only logical that the chain reaction would have spread infinitely, consuming the entire universe. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration must be quarantined for the safety of the universe.
That’s why this is called, oh wait, I wrote the wrong title. This should be: “Why Aliens Never Want to Contact Humans.”
