Men and women aren't the same
it’s written in the stars ;-)
Because I come from Venus
and you lot are from Mars.
Yet on a summer evening
if you would hold my hand
gaze into my Venusian eyes
I know you’d understand.
You’d speak sweet Martian nothings
into my shell-like ear,
translated to Venusian
t’would say “I love you dear.”
And our eyes would sparkle
like the planets up above
and with no language barrier
we could fall in love . . . .

And even if you do manage to find a half decent translator - the cultural differences are so great that the nuance may be lost.
His 'I love you dear' might very well translate to 'Here are your handcuffs, now I'm going to tie you to the kitchen sink for the rest of your life'.
he said "832= /3z1h8 & *z 2Qz!= ?=%$?"
No, no this won't do at all. Translated into Venusian? How do you KNOW that's what it says. don't be fooled. These translators are notoriously unreliable. especially Martian ones. Perhaps, if you publish the original Martian text, we could find someone to check the translation, give you the harsh reality about these Martian types.

The photo and the poem are both wry and rather wonderful.Will-E or Won't-E? xx
How kind you all are - unfortunatley I appear to have no ears, shell-like or otherwise (see photo) to hear the sweet Martian nothings - good job that the eyes can speak volumes! xx
Of course 'it's written in the stars...
and with no language barrier
we could fall in love . . . .'
Love this Ann : )
Ann ! Wowser this is brilliant. So easy with this type of tight rhyme that it takes over and becomes trite. Not so here... the interest and the humour (for me) kept going right till the end. Great stuff. and a knitted Wall-E and eve as a bonus.. lol :-)
