Body	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MARS PART 1 We packed our bags to go to Mars. We packed them tight and neat. We caught the ship from Liverpool. It was a special treat. We had been good throughout the year, as good as gold you see. We'd potted all the garden plants, and kept the stairwells free. The Captain greeted us with pride outside his gleaming ship. Presenting us his trusty crew who'd help us on this trip. We'd watched the films,  we' d read the scripts, we'd talked of it at school. But nothing could prepare us for that ship from Liverpool. The doors would open with a swish and close with just a sigh. And whereso on the ship you went the crew would be nearby. The crew were gruff and hardy men. We should have found it barmy, why on a ship that steered itself, you needed a small army. We should have been suspicious of the weapons that they carried. But on these inconsistencies our thoughts they never tarried. So as the ship set off that night and we slept in our room. we had no expectation of our close impending doom. They came and got us one by one and marched us to the hold. They chained our feet in manacles. The metal felt so cold. And that was how we got to Mars, chained up within a hive. Not knowing what fate had in store or if we would survive. Oh curse the day we got to Mars, so far away from home. Across the gulfs and voids of space, to destinies unknown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
