Mars Awaits
Mars Awaits
Twenty thousand years before our time-line,
Rad Arrigo would see it through,
Rad Arrigo of the bronze wing warrior sign,
Martain Aeronautic too,
Looked and saw the comet coming,
Spluttering on the horizon due,
To impact the northern hemisphere, coming,
Ever coming, coming, coming,
Bugger all what he could do,
Guided missiles, Rimfire rockets
Failed the deflecting, hull-a-baloo,
becoming deadly, as in a nightmare,
kill this world it came to do,
death of planet nothing new,
bugger all that he could do?
Anti-Grav the ship was ready,
Inter-stellar pure-bred lines its true ,
Partenered with the Bo-Bo-Freddy,
Shirt-lifter, dirt-track-rider too,
Ladies please come into view,
Sent to search for a new planet,
Save the race survivors few,
Came to Terra old Lemuria,
Fore the continents were split in two,
Ricochet of comet was a slamming,
poor old bloody earth, in waves,
Tidal waves, tsunamis growing,
Sharks and animals washed into caves,
thousands was a death, a knowing,
Pole-shift poor old Mammoths knew
Sucking on the grass a growing,
Snap frozen drowned in artic dew,
Poor ole bloody Mammoth blue,
Mars got shattered by the comet,
Water, air, went into space,
Three kilometers bloody deep, to vomit
was gouged out of place,
gone is planet interface,
For the Martains it’s just too late,
Pyramids there still do await,
For the man, some stellar Gromit,
Mars is waiting on your fate,
So pull on your travel-bonnet,
Coming, New Universal Empire state.
