I don’t believe in UFO’s,
Or anything not a fact,
Nor conspiracy theories,
Ghostbusters or even tinfoil hats.
2
I also find myself among,
The rare Earther scholastic,
The only civilization in the Milky Way,
So what has this to do with plastic?
3
For a civilization to rise high it needs,
Metal and power too,
Both of them can only come,
From a billion years of goo.
4
So any civilization must have a star,
That does not go bust,
And the planet must have moving plates,
Leaving goo within the crust.
5
So before any aliens,
Can set their furnaces to boil,
Their planet must first live three billion years,
And leave behind coal and oil.
6
But this is not a given though,
As there must be lots of water and soil,
Leaving the host star’s energy behind,
In the form of gas or oil.
7
Now think of the modern world,
And plastic from the past,
It comes from a billion years ago,
From crude oil or natural gas.
