Martian Olympiad
Imagine if our Olympic stars,
took spacecraft to host Planet Mars.
Defying gravity’s no longer in.
Athletes float in an atmosphere thin.
Space vehicles race the rocky craters.
Our hosts have skin like alligators.
We skate the polar ice crags.
Compete for gold in laser tag.
Most the events will take place indoors
galactica games and star wars.
Gymnasts will fly off the walls
suspended in space, never to fall.
Team sports are played on simulators,
medals to lick planetary invaders.
They’ll sleep by the Phobus and Deimos moons.
These things may happen, very soon.
