be sure to bring your raincoat
and bathing suit, as the weather's
a tad unpredictable. . .
And yes, we recommend you shed
that extra pound or two, as there's
twice, perhaps thrice, the gravity
you enjoy on Earth.
Caustic fumes?
Ah yes, those are a possibility,
but for those of you who once lived
on old earth, they will remind you
of Greenhouse gases. . .
Re-kindle your love and passion
beneath a perpetual twilight, tinged
not with aquamarine, but ruby-red skies.
And don't wait until the next solstice
to reserve your ticket, as we'll be
slipping through Gliese 481-g's portal
at half-past dawn.
