When NASA knocked on Martian doors; They found some things that looked like spores, And little shapes that looked like coils, Also were found in Martian soils. NASA jumped quickly to dismiss; Those who claimed they thought what is... And words explained it all away "There are no fossils there", they say. "No microbes are found upon the planet We know for sure...take that for granted". On that place that they call Mars; The foramiculae sure look a lot like ours.
