Subject: Recommendations Of Candidates For Mars One

Have you heard of the one way trip to Mars?
A bunch of people who aim for the stars,
But on the red planet are landing,
A feat (and a price) quite outstanding!
It must be super hard to participate,
But I know a few potential candidates.
No, I don't want to go on this trip,
I'm not really into space ships.
But please take into consideration,
My suggestions, recommendations.
My neighbor is a great example,
A woman with energy ample,
Which would better be spent in outer space,
Than used to scowl every time she sees my face.
So yes, I'd be over the moon,
If I knew she'd be going soon.
Then there's the Aunty across the street,
Who's fashion sense is always on beat.
But unfortunately so are her ears,
And she makes it her mission to spread all she hears.
Who's generous with the information she's acquired,
And of bitching, is never tired.
So for the gossipiest character under the sun,
She definitely belongs on Mars, that one.
Then there's the ... unique case,
Of just returning someone to outer space.
Who was lost and aimless and seemed to roam,
It's all about just sending them home.
He calls himself my class teacher,
But I'm still convinced that he's a creature,
From a planet even further than Mars,
Whose home planet is lost in the stars.
But for this man whose teaching is extraterrestrial,
Mars is just as good a home, I feel.
There are few more people who you wouldn't have thought
Of as the ideal astronaut,
But should be in that spaceship, should sit in,
I have a good feeling they'll fit in,
And will create a community that is meant,
For people like them, sour and unpleasant.
So here you have the list of candidates from a 15 year old girl,
Of people she wants out of her life, and if possible,

Out of her world.
