strangers

 

They look

almost perfectly normal

and for practical purposes

they could be classified

as being members

of the human race

possessing

the normal number

of arms and of legs

and probably also

the faculty of speech

which they'll use most likely

for expressing ideas

most markedly different from ours!

So for practical purposes

(and for safety's own sake)

we should consider them

strangers...
