Neptune City

Slim spires loom out of methane mist
Suspended from balloons galore
Come, Neptune City welcomes you
It’s time for your induction tour

Our shuttle’s ready, thrusters on
There’s Central Greenhouse Dome below
where coconuts and mangoes thrive
While robot birds flit to and fro

Let’s hover next to Spire One
Computers whir inside full tilt
to keep the city fit for life
and gourmet stores stocked to the hilt

Let’s dock with Recreation Room
We’ve cricket, billiards and squash
Since gravity’s like that on Earth
you’ll find it fun, the decor's posh

Please gaze at Neptune’s Great Dark Spot
or shop in our Commercial Zone
A city life awaits you, but
we're sorry that you’re all alone
