Deimos perplexing state of Martian crash test dummy

rew4er2nail

Anthropomorphic test device to explore
amply, cheaply tricked out

with super tramping,
albeit unsophisticated trappings

strewn ceiling to floor

available for purchase at Dollar store
(actually merchandise
cost more than 100 pennies)
nonetheless unmanned spacecraft made
perfect landing upon alien nation i.e. red
planet's moon Phobos, meanwhile corps
engineers back at the ranch (nondescript
building) hi-fived each other perfect score


housed astrophysicists who didst monitor
remote control desktop exhaling relief for
misplaced anticipatory
uneasy tense premature

panic/fear transferred
figurative reins more

or less to onboard robots
re: exchanged pleasant bonjour

all around - as mission
impossible (most swore

could not be pulled off
without a hitch) successful procedure

to launch humanoid cargo spurred roar

 

as international teammates
(former rivals) just recently at war

liberated mutual accolades did reassure

each other, abe linkedin pact enterprise

predicated - regarding good rapport

witnessed courtesy delicate
present endeavor bore

invariably promised cheers galore

since assignment on shoestring budget,

would reap bajillions to sponsor

manned near future

outer space excursion hefty price tag

guaranteed state of the art – fourscore

 

and seven years ago proclaimed

men/women analogous
to pioneers of yore

solar system the new "wild west"

since Earth hereinbefore

now did offer, testimony tour

ring outer limits twilight zone

no way José extempore

modus operandi ditched

humanity to pollinate cosmos
ghost of Carl Sagan

would applaud as fitting encore.

    Wow! You should be reciting this to an audience in a smoky night club in Greenwich Village backed up by a jazz trio. I like it!
