Celestial Bodies...of Water?



Though myth of canals has run dry
did Mars once have water supply?

Give presses the brakes--

there might have been lakes!

In dreams, life on Mars will not die

presumed Shalbatana lake on Mars as it might have looked

Yeah, finally a limerick that isn't about an old movie! But it's so cool that scientist's are keeping the possibility of life on Mars "alive". Just think of all the classic sf and fantasy books that hang in the balance.
