Who would have believed that in the year of our Lord 2017

Hot red people would come from Mars

To seduce and destructify the simple peoples of earth?

Failed pockets of resistance antagonised the alien invaders further

Causing the almost extinction of the human race

I remember a time before

Before she offered me wine

Looking back I should have seen

Her bright red crimson skin

She was part of an invasion force

Also, she had red horns

Now I think about it red teeth too

I can no longer blame the wine

Red is the colour of our blood left as a hazard on the floor

Hot red people from Mars destructify our world

It was time to retaliate

An expedition to Mars

Mars, the red, red planet

Full of hot red people

We were part of an invasion force

But we failed to find our foe

In our anger, we only saw red

Making it impossible to find them

Red is the colour of our blood left as a hazard on the floor

Hot red people from Mars destructify our world

I am lupine soldier now - my posting, Olympus Mons

I'll search the Tharsis region for the Red Riding Hoods

My disguise is that of an alluring human grandma

My nightdress is cumbersome, my disguise ineffective

I trip, my visor cracks, the icy world creeps in

I'll think of the hot red girl and what could have been

As my blurry vision fades, I hold on to a final thing:

If I had got to second base could I have been

The Martian king?

Red is the colour of our blood left as a hazard on the floor

Hot red people from Mars destructify our world
