The Itchin' & bitchin' Venus blues.

We are living high in the sky
pioneers on this Sister Earth,
fifty clicks up, I don't know why
I left the planet of my birth.
It tugs my hide, such sweet blue curves.
I stink of sweat, perspiration
drip, drip, drips it gets my nerve
an I itch, unwashed, unshaven
O why on earth, yeah, did I leave home?
 
A thousand bucks per? A girls thighs?
shotgun wed or Fort Leavenworth?
They said time's strange here, it goes by
backwards, so I got me a berth
Yeah, recruiters full o' shit mirth
sunsets east, cheers sarge, a good one
an days here is more than a year's worth,
I wanna go on rotation!
O why on earth, yeah, did I leave home?
 
No boots on this ground hell, they'd fry
an chow ain't but some rude cuss words,
an Venus's year's a day gone by
as my mess-mates grouse, bitch and curse.
And another thing that I heard
boffins got showers on Floor One
us grunts just get flipped the bird
it's a bitch this Sis' not a hon'.
O why on earth, yeah, did I leave home?

Author's Note
Clicks = kilometers.
the first colonists will live in the upper atmosphere.
There's almost no H2O on Venus so, for sure, it will be rationed.
The surface temperature melts rock.
Venus orbits opposite direction to us.
A Venus day is a bit longer than its year. (don't ask me why)
Leavenworth hosts a military prison.
