Martians



PINK SATURDAY
MARTIANS!

So this is what a Martian looks like!
A creature from Outer Space!
It really is peculiar
With that shiny pinkish face!
The poor old thing is bald too,
Apart from a little fluff!
It's claws look very feeble;
 They're just not sharp enough!
We share one little feature, though;
Both of us have eyes.
We're looking at each other
With them widened in surprise.

So this is what a Martian looks like!
A creature from Outer Space!
It never gets up off the ground;
 It just slinks about the place.
It's face is very hairy;
It makes a rumbling sound.
It's nose is very pointy,
Not, as it should be, round.
We share one little feature, though;
Both of us have eyes.
We're looking at each other
With them widened in surprise.

DOUBLE BUBBLE


Friend Margaret frequently supplies
Pictures of her New York skies.
This one I considered magic;
A limited viewing really tragic.
I hope my followers, too, can see
Two suns in all their majesty.
The sun reflected in a cloud!
Margaret! You have done us proud!

  1. Yes, Margaret's photo of a sun reflected in a cloud is perfect, isn't it. Bravo, Margaret. I've already said something similar to her.
    And I love the two little Martians contemplating on another. I'd love to cuddle each of them, although separately.

  2. Cute picture - they're probably both thinking the same thing - who is that?!?!
