Ode to the Mars Probe
Sheldon Wernikoff
ODE TO THE MARS OBSERVER
(To the tune of Gilligan's Island theme song)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NASA built a satellite, and aimed it at the stars,
they sent it to take pictures of the surface of Mars.
eleven months it travelled, and everyone was sure,
there'd be no major problems on this one planet tour...
refrain "one planet tour"
But then without a warning, something big went wrong,
the radio went silent, the satellite was gone.
Despite the preparations, and the billion dollar cost,
and despite all the efforts of the NASA crew,
the mission it was lost...
refrain: "mission it was lost"
A billion dollar space probe, gone without a trace,
Could it be connected with the Martian happy face?
Some people swear it's up there, as clear as clear can be,
Could it be there's something else we're not supposed to see?
refrain: "not supposed to see"
Someday soon on a mountain top, on a clear and moonless night, An
astronomer, with his telescope,
will be watching Mars, all alone,
And there he'll see a message reading...
"SEND US SHARON STONE" :) :)

I'm sure that when the aliens pick up our Pioneer probe, and
they play the laser disc that went along for the ride,
their first message to earth will probably be:
>>> PLEASE SEND US MORE CHUCK BERRY.... Regards, --Sheldon
