POVERTY AMONG EARTHLINGS


At certain times during Earthling existence on Earth, the phenomenon of “poverty” was said to stalk their cultures. During the centuries of my interest, the 20th and 21st Centuries (Earthtime), poverty in the City of Africa, somewhere below the water body called Medical Terrain, was supposed to have been terribly bad. Poverty, as far as we can tell, was a condition of clothing that a race of Earthlings called fashion editors judged as being “too outré to be borne”, as one of them wrote in an archaeological fragment that Prof. Bungalow from the University of Mars on Tyne only recently released. 

There is much debate as to what the term “outré” means. Imagine our joy, then, in the archaeological findings of Professor Duplex whose digger drones have been working in that same area below the Medical Terrain in the lush rain forests there. He has unearthed two representational artifacts of female Earthlings whose skin coverings appear to be in poor and torn condition. Someone, unfortunately, has misidentified the fragments as coming from the NATO Continent, as it was called, which lies above the Medical Terrain water body. So we can be pretty certain that the condition, outré, is represented by the skin coverings of these two Earthlings from the City of Africa. Long hard work over many genuflects of time will eventually lead to findings such as these if only we have patience.
