All My Ships Adrift

One Planet: Beating the Blues

"I've got pimples and spots," sighed the Earth in it's thoughts, 

"I've a crater or two, and my backside is blue!" 

 So Earth looked to the stars thinking "what about Mars?" 

 Thus Earth worked up courage sending Mars a message. 

"Please do me a favor," wrote Earth to its neighbor, 

"what's it like to be red, can you tell me my friend?"

"I'm all dry and have cracks," lonely Mars informed back. 

"To whom I'm addressing: please count all your blessings!"

Earth glanced in the mirror, it's skys looking dearer.  

That this blue was a gift had never been clearer.
