\"MartianRushHour\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EXTRATERRESTRIAL INSIGHT<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Its red atmosphere hides the surface,
\nleads us to think Mars has no purpose.
\nEven the probe we sent had missed it.
\nMartian civilization’s reflections twisted.
\n‘
\nBut if we fine tune all of the rays
\nand look more closely and fix our gaze,
\nwe’d see a colorful cityscape
\nand Martians! We’d stare with mouths agape!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Truns out they have a workday too,
\njust like the likes of me and you.
\nExcept they travel to and fro
\nin flying cars so bright they glow!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

At rush hour colors are quite dazzling.
\nThen Martian nerves should be unravelling.
\nThere is heavy traffic just like Earth,
\nbut it never quells their bubbly mirth.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It seems they have perfected childhood
\nso that those joys just never end.
\nThey all sleep soundly in colorful beds.
\nTheir secret’s in their colorful heads.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

So as we peer into their fun world
\nwhere rocket ships chase comet tails curled,
\nenlightenment might appear in sight:
\nto keep life colorful, keep it light.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
