Dateline: Red Planet
May 2 - Habtown

Today, astronomers report seeing thousands of tiny, green, Martian Bunnies pour from their dens and come out to celebrate the May on Mars Festival. Singing (not easy in the thin Martian air), Dancing (much easier in the low Martian gravity), and chemolithotrophic absorption of delicious reduced iron and manganese was on the Agenda for Fun.

The Martian Bunnies from the Planet of Two Moons send Happy May Day greetings to all Earthling Bunnies of the Planet of One Moon!

Tonight is the night when the moons are twin The haze in the sky is sparkling and thin, And little green bunnies and little green hares Come out from their craters everywhere.	© 2002 R.D. Frederick
They dance and cavort to a fast Martian jig, And pass round the Marshine & each takes a swig. On old Mt. Olympus, they play games of chance, Dress up in galoshes and do a dust dance.	© 2002 R.D. Frederick
And just before dawn on this Marsbunny Fest The bravest, bold bunnies each do their best To gain the Queen's favor by jousting the Bane, The Monster of metal that sits on the plain.	© 2002 R.D. Frederick
Now it is day and the moons move away, The haze in the sky thickens to grey, And little green bunnies and little green hares, Go back to their craters and curl up in pairs.	© 2002 R.D. Frederick
