Government Guidelines: Your Trip to Mars

by Nick Gisburne



Your quarantine review has been delayed
This means you cannot safely come aboard
Although your sterile cubicle was sprayed
The travel guidelines must not be ignored
Prepare for your annihilation burst
Please wave the other passengers goodbye
And after all your atoms are dispersed
This cruiser will be certified to fly
We hope you have enjoyed your trip to Mars
The forecast for today is cold, and red
Hit ‘like’ to give your captain seven stars
Complaints will be deleted when you’re dead
    Your test results acknowledge you were clean
    Official termination: 10:18
