MARTIAN MUSINGS
On Mars, where skies are always red,
We dine on rocks and bake sunbread.
Our cows don’t moo, they hum a tune,
And we milk them straight by the light of the moon.
Our cities float on lakes of dust,
Our cars run on stardust (because they must!).
The traffic’s slow when comets swoop,
And UFOs stop for Martian soup.
Our dogs have

MARTIAN RHYTHM
MARTIAN RHYTHM
In Gustav Holst’s Planet Suite
It’s Mars, The Bringer Of War
The rhythm is in five four time
But there’s no words to rhyme
So one asks what is it good for
When keeping up with the beat

The Martian On Grape Lane
The Martian on Grape Lane
I touched the sea, the sea touched me,
not far from where the mermaids play.
Swaddled in a world where I could not stay,
I was caught in time, floating away.
I took her to York on a scheme
for love and black cherry ice cream.
Kittens, cider, the spider inside her,
her shadow strong against the wall.
The

Deimos Perplexing State of Martian Crash Test Dummy
Anthropomorphic test device to explore
amply, cheaply tricked out
with super tramping,
albeit unsophisticated trappings
strewn ceiling to floor
available for purchase at Dollar store
(actually merchandise
cost more than 100 pennies)
nonetheless unmanned spacecraft made
perfect landing upon alien nation i.e. red
planet's moon Phobos, meanwhile corps
engineers back at the ranch (nondescript
building) hi-fived each other perfect score
housed astrophysicists who didst monitor

Martian Aircraft But No Air
Perseverance, ingenuity: hallmarks of great mind...
Examples which we Earthlings are expecting more to find.
As NASA's news now streams from Mars, where there is little air
And yet they're setting up the helicopter dispatched there.
With AIR as so essential for the flight of an AIRcraft
We'll see if JPL designers are clever - or just daft!

Stuff This
A Martian came down on my lawn
One overcast, wet, windy morn
I said oh my golly
I’ll fetch him a brolly
But when I got back he was gawn

Marvin the Martian For President
We have a new opponent entering the game
Bugs has some competition and Marvin is his name
He’s a bit out of this world but that’s nothing new
He gets very, very angry, but that’s just between me and you
We invaded his home planet looking for clues
He has a ray gun on his hip and some radical views
He’s

Martian Gothic Long
It was a unique environment.
They were unique people in a unique place.
A mountain fifteen thousand metres high with a vertical south face.
Two pretty Goth girls stood on the edge.
One footstep forward and it was a huge fall to the Martian plateau.
Three hundred metres in front of the girls was a fine layer of Cirrus cloud,
thirty

Martian Gothic
Martian Gothic (short)
Unique environment unique people.
Fifteen thousand metre mountain vertical south face.
Two pretty Goth girls stood on the edge.
One footstep fall to Martian plateau.
Three hundred metres ahead thirty metre layer of Cirrus cloud.
Terraforming worked brilliantly Earth like atmosphere.
Olympus Mons great holiday destination for East European adventurers.
Hanneke had waist length black hair,
Silge shoulder length red

The Martian and the Leprechaun
A Martian from space lands once a year
On St. Patty’s day for green beer
But got lost on his way
It wasn't a clear day
He couldn't see through the clouds to steer
He landed in a field full of deer
The deer all ran away out of fear
The Martian was surprised
Couldn't believe his eyes
A green leprechaun was sitting there
He

Martian-Ess
I’m so much in love with a lass from above
It leaves such a knot in my gut
For it’s hard to kiss one’s favourite miss
When her tongue dangles out of her butt
Her eyes grow on stalks, which sway when she walks
And I really like licking her skin
I get naughty thoughts when I’m sucking her warts
For her

Martian With the Flu
There once was a Martian had the flu
He tried to talk, but out came Achoo!
He went to the Doc
Who knocked on his block
After that he screamed Nanu, Nanu!
