A Tour of Mercury
A tour of Mercury
Spent time in interstellar space?
Too long in orbit round the Sun?
Roll up, here’s something you can’t miss
We’ll redefine your sense of fun
Scorched Tours now gives you Mercury!
A world of wonder ― all agree
We’ll whisk you there first-class right now
With colleagues, friends and family
Day 1: arrive in Crater Camp
Play games on ice, drink sunrise drinks
Sunbathe in Sun three times as wide
And see the stars, then forty winks
Day 2: the Rolls Royce rovers roll
in style across the plains of dust
With cushions, cards and caviar
and hostesses whom you can trust
Day 3: we let the robots out
amidst the crags to hide or run
Feel free to blow their brains out
with your pistol or your laser gun
