Mars Bars

Mars Bars I think they painted it all red so that we’d think it really dead get the thought out of our head they would let us share a bed. Perhaps they hacked Mars “google maps” to screw up our best thinkers caps installed the “red-dead” planet app in brownish shade of crusty past to insure we’d change our mind look elsewhere in our search to find another place to colonize after this one slowly dies. They have watched our pestilence defy the laws of common sense will not succumb to our pretense good neighbors do not need a fence. John G.
