Justin's Marvelous Mars Dash

Starring Justin

With a woosh and a rumble, Justin soared through the **air**. In his sparkling red rocket, he waved, "See you down there!" **there** The stars zipped by fast, his heart filled with **glee**, For Justin was off to have tea on **Mars** with a key! **key**

The rocket went BAM! on the soft Martian **sand**, Justin stepped out, feeling dust cover his **hand**. "Whoa! It smells like burnt toast!" he giggled in **surprise**, With wide, sparkly eyes, he scanned Mars' red **skies**. **skies**

Suddenly, out popped a rover with a *beepity-beep* **tone**, With rainbow antennae and freckles of **chrome**. "Hello! I’m Rover, your Mars-hopping **mate**!" Justin grinned, "Let’s race, ready, set, don’t **wait**!" **wait**

With a zip and a zap, off the two friends **sped**, Around bouncy red rocks and craters they **fled**. Justin laughed, "Try to keep up with my **feet**!" Rover spun circles: "This Martian race is a **treat**!" **treat**

They zipped past a patch of wobbly blue **moss**, And dodged zig-zag Martian worms criss-crossed like **floss**. Justin pointed and gasped, "Look, a floating egg **cart**!" Rover buzzed, "Let’s follow it—we’re brave and **smart**!" **smart**

Through zig-zagging tunnels they chased that swift **egg**, Bumping their knees, and skidding on one **leg**. At last with a giggle, they opened the **lid**, Spotting warm cookies—oh, imagine what they just **did**! **did**

"These cookies are amazing!" Justin cheered with **delight**, "Let's share and make this the best Martian **night**!" Rover chirped, "New friends on Mars are the very best **prize**." Together, they munched, under stars and drifting **flies**. **flies**

When bedtime came, Justin waved, "Goodbye, Mars, **friend**!" "I’ll visit again—that’s a promise I’ll **send**!" With a rocket full of laughter, our hero zoomed **home**, Dreaming of Martian cookies wherever he’d **roam**! **roam**
