Twinkle, Twinkle Little Earth-Leonard Nimoy

[00:01.16]TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE EARTH [00:05.94]Leonard Nimoy [00:11.01]I've been asked to say a few words to you [00:13.11]earth-people about the stars. You see, I've been [00:16.70]there. I came from the planet Vulcan. [00:20.08]For centuries, you earthlings have been starstruck. [00:24.41]You have your lucky star, you kiss when you see the [00:27.75]first star at night, you have movie stars, and you [00:31.33]wish upon a star. [00:34.37]Have you considered the possibility that on a star, [00:37.41]the star-people wish upon an earth? [00:40.25]For example, "Earthlight, earth bright, first earth I [00:44.83]see tonight", or "Twinkle, twinkle, little earth, how [00:50.00]I wonder what you're worth". [00:52.79]Sound strange? Well, on Sestus Omicron 3 the all-time [00:57.43]hit song is Earthdust. Also people will sing "Catch a [01:02.35]falling earth and put it in your pocket". [01:05.64]And might you not have difficulty accepting the idea [01:08.13]of a national anthem called The Earth-Spangled Banner? [01:13.20]You see, it is after all, a question of point of view. [01:17.68]If I were an emotional creature, I would be shocked by [01:21.17]your Earth concept of stars falling on Alabama. [01:25.70]Really, I find that most illogical. [01:29.83]Now, as to the matter of space sanitation, will you [01:32.47]take a moment to consider all the littering and debris [01:35.15]my planet has to contend with? [01:37.22]Old nose cones, cameras, and even a corned-beef [01:41.30]sandwich. And those rocket fumes. [01:44.36]On Vulcan, our leader's wife has started a "Let's Keep [01:47.19]Space Beautiful Campaign". [01:51.62]And now I must hurry off to a galactic convention of [01:55.35]what you earth-people might call "those little green [01:59.59]people". [02:01.28]I leave you with the good advice my father gave me [02:02.79]when I left my home planet of Vulcan: don't let the [02:06.78]Earth get in your eyes.
