Another Day Another Jovian Dollar

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER JOVIAN * DOLLAR Strolled down to the café to meet the guys, The braves as we call ourselves in vain. Get a breath of fresh ammonia from the skies Maybe a whiff of methane. Not many red men left now to stand . White earth dudes tried to kill off all Of us native Joviandians and Take whole of Jupiter for themselves in thrall. Space the final frontier, by Jove Not moving west now but out. Treaties made and broken. Where can we rove? They killed off all the jovalloes, used to roam about. Even our Jovian satellites are exploited for metals or oil, And hey, look what happened to the Great Red Spot: Filled up with earth guys. They have technology for our soil - Of course, now renamed the Great White Spot. Still they all must live in a strong steel cavity Like a captured earth species avian. Small runts who can't stand up in our big gravity Makes us jovial Jovians. .......................................................................... *Jovian = adjective relating to planet Jupiter
