On the other side of Mars
Beyond the Moon and past the stars
There lives a Martian small and green
The strangest guy you’ve ever seen

His name is Highashighcanbe
He doesn’t look like you or me
But he’s the nicest guy you’ll meet
He’ll shake your hand using his feet

With his little turned up snout
He sniffs the silver moon beams out
Then puts them in his stardust stew
He’ll gladly share a bit with you

He has three eyes and pointed ears
So he can see each word he hears
He watches TV in his bed
With small antennas on his head

And in his little rocket ship
He loves to fly and dive and dip
If you watch the nighttime sky
You might see him soaring by

So keep a watch out for him there
As he comes zipping through the air
And when he lands and comes to greet
Be sure to shake hands with your feet

Your poems are so much fun, Stephen. They make me feel like a child again. I'm saving this one for my granddaughters.
