Liquid water lake?
For goodness sake!

Astronomers have found a lake on Mars, 20km across and 1.5km beneath the souther polar ice cap. (The Economist link)

This is an addition to my Six-Word Couplets that I started back on 6/9/2018. I've been intrigued by the "six-word story," which has gained popularity, including the 2006 Six-Word Memoirs® project. What about a six-word couplet?

Lol. . . Even my simple cover image above has six words!

Liquid water lake? For goodness sake!

I like these kind of short, sweet, clever "epigrams," if you will. It's a winner in my book... And Ogden Nash is smiling down at you from his perch somewhere in Poetry Heaven. :) gw

Gershon, I used to love reading Ogden Nash back when I was in school. I haven’t thought of him for decades. I appreciate your firing up those dormant synapses ;). Lol... I’m going to read some Nash right now!
