Martians Calling Earth Nursery Rhyme

MARTIANS CALLING EARTH 

Mummy, Mummy come quickly and see,
A pretty picture for Blib and me,
Blog was jumping up and down                                                                                
Her helmet bobbing on her curved crown.

Look at this picture in the sand,
We saw them, they were not from our land.
They flew up into the sky in a rocket ship
Honestly mummy, mum looked at Blog and Blib.

What dream did they have last night,
Their TV aerial was certainly a mite,
Strange and the Moon and Mars picked up sounds,
Which seemed weird, and out of bounds.

Something unusual, her twins Blib and Blog,
Had noticed, that they were so excited about,
Absolutely no doubt!
Can Daddy please beam us to this land,
So we can offer them a moonlit Mars hand?

We’ll have fun and tell them to come and play
Any Moon or Mars day!
But Dad chose to use his rocket ship
On this trip!

So four Martians, Blip, Blog Mum and Dad,
Began a Mars, to Earth fad,
They took off to find this land, and Sam and Sue!
Poor Blib, with a slight dose of the flu.

They hurtled at thousands of miles an hour!
Their GPS directed to Earth, on four
We land, said Dad, don’t bump your head.
Blib stay still, you should be in bed.

The pups had seen a foreign approaching object,
Martians and curious pups about to connect,
The Martians were speaking gobbly goo,
And the pups excitement grew and grew.

They hugged and played and ran,
Becoming the first universal connection,
In our galaxy and under our sun,
What a delightful galactic affection.

Hi Paul hope your Easter Sunday was warm and loving with all your family around, ours was awesome also. I am well and Elias has recuperated after his major op he had on the 12th of last month, but still gets tired and has his off days. I was very emotional but friends and family were so kind and caring. I have only just returned to Soup totally about 12 days ago, although I posted one or two during Elias's stay in hospital. Thank-you as always for a wonderful comment my friend, Warm regards, hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Thank-you John, Have missed Poetry soup so much and all my wonderful friends. What a beautiful comment my friend, I have been persuaded I think at last, to write a children's book of poetic stories - have a friend in mind who is great at drawing and painting. POTD was a wonderful way to re find my inspiration. My muse left me really high and dry and I was so emotional when Elias went into hospital, that I thought of nothing else. Hugs and Blessings my good friend. Jennifer.

Arturo my dear friend, I have missed your poems and your comments Elias was not well and had to go in a for a major op and when he came home was meant to be convalescing, but started driving on the 2nd day! I went through a very emotional few weeks and had no time or inclination or inspiration. I came back officially this last weekend. Be well Arturo, Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Hi dear friend Ani, thank-you for a kind lovely comment - I have been asked many times why I don't compose a book of bedtime story poems and am inquiring into the possibility at the moment. Have a wonderful few days and in fact always ahead! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
