Merry Christmas #2

To the tune of 'We Three Kings'.




We AI of cold dead Mars
Bearing heat ray travel afar
To field and fountain, moor and mountain
Cylinders expelled are

O Minds of wonder, Minds of might
Mars with warring beauty bright
Vast uncaring, cool, unsparing
Slow and sure they plan the fight

On Horsel common cylinder lain
Heat ray out to bring on the pain
Mars forever! ceasing never
Over us all to reign

O Minds of wonder, Minds of might
Mars with warring beauty bright
Vast uncaring, cool, unsparing
Slow and sure they plan the fight

Reddish weed to offer have I
Cause Earth's plants to wither and die
Of conquest yearning, humans burning
Martian tripods stomp on by

O Minds of wonder, Minds of might
Mars with warring beauty bright
Vast uncaring, cool, unsparing
Slow and sure they plan the fight

Thunderchild in valiant flume
Speak her guns in gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Heat-rayed to a watery tomb

O Minds of wonder, Minds of might
Mars with warring beauty bright
Vast uncaring, cool, unsparing
Slow and sure they plan the fight

Curious now as Martians fall
Brought down low by something so small
Ah-atchoo! Ah-atchoo!
Earth now laughs at Martians all

O Minds of wonder, Minds of might
Mars with warring beauty bright
Vast uncaring, cool, unsparing
Slow and sure they plan the fight




Merry Christmas No 1
