LOST ON MARS!

Oh dammit! I've lost them again!

The instructions on how to get back!

I'm terribly sorry!

They were lost in this quarry

And I'm going to end up with the sack!
We'll be stuck up on Mars for all time!
Just because I was careless again!
In our tractors and trucks,
We are just sitting ducks
For those damnable Little Green Men!

JUTTING JEWEL

There's something exotic about a pool that's set in the sea like this.
The dark blue sea plus the turquoise pool; add them together! Bliss!
This is Sydney, the Icebergs' Pool, known for winter cavorting;
Where brave souls risk the August chill to prove that they're tough and sporting.
As for me, I like to watch, although I think they're rash.
I'm certain I would shiver if I even felt one splash!
