 Color Mars Purple!

The Perseverance rover roves

The Mars landscape and does find that

Purple is splashed on rocks in droves,

'Round the red planet habitat.

What does this purple on red mean?

Scientists scratch their theory heads.

Could ancient life have been on scene,

Showing now as purples on reds?

The rover's taking samples so

The puzzled scientists can do

Closer studies to maybe show

What makes Mars red have purple hue.

How purple and past life equate -

We on Earth will just have to wait.
