Martian On the Moon

*****

                               

                                        A Martian from planet Mars, 
                                     He thought the earth was a star.
                                        Then sets down on the moon. 
                                           explored until noon.
                                     These earthlings are bazaar.

                                   The Martian's name is Sir Peter.
                                 Earthling, take me to your leader.
                               Earth? He points up, "See that light."
                                  This green man is not too bright.
                                  Helms a ship with an ohmmeter.

                                    The top leaders of the moon.
                                  Gathered in a soundproof room.
                                       Silly man an ohmmeter!
                                     We will install a GPS meter.
                                "Mars" launch time is at mid-noon.

                            Peter launched from "Moons" air base.
                                   left the moon for outer space.
                                    Captain's log entry reads:
                                    Electric tops warp speed.
                                He's now head of "Aerospace."

                                             

                                           Written 2/26/2021

This is indeed an interesting tale Debra.... It is such fun hearing about aliens! You have done a great job ! Please modify the syllable count of verse one and four ! The instruction given is that it should be in conformity with the syllable count of a limerick....(As per my limited understanding)
