Cheap Sunglasses*

Here’s another easy one, but not the opening lines…(may have used it in another thread)

*Thou shalt not exert downward pressure upon the costume accessary of a fictional extraterrestial.

Thou shalt not expectorate contra to the flow of the prevailing breeze.

And at this very point, my mind unexpectedly alerted me to the fact of your absence.

Happiness Is A Warm Gun, The Beatles?

Told you it was easy.

They are not interested in my frigid countenance?
