The planet of true happiness.

I like to pretend I'm an alien. From the planet Neptune. Don't know why I picked Neptune instead of Uranus or Saturn. I tell my true love I'm from Neptune. So that she thinks I'm crazy. And that's my goal. To convince people that I'm crazy. When really I'm not. I'm quite sane. But in a crazy sort of way. Because I'm a romantic idealist. We are perceived as crazy. When really we are the sane ones in the world-wide asylum. Unfortunately, the crazies are running the show. They have taken over the reins of government and banking and capitalism. With no sense of the common good. But I'm here from Neptune to fix everything. On Neptune, we live an idyllic life. Because Neptunians are socialists. From cradle to grave, we are diehard, devoted socialists. We take care of each other. We all work for the same wage. There's no disparity in income. No gap between the rich and the poor. Because we don't have any rich and any poor. We have an ideal society. In which all of our basic needs are met. Gives us time to truly savor the meaningful things in life. We've found true happiness on Neptune. --Jim Broede
