Thanks, Martin! I've made that change. I like doing different dialects; I think Dizzee Rascal would work for Merc.

Ralph, great to have you on board. I like 'plan it' and 'planet', lol.

I finished a big work project earlier today, leaving a bit of time to write something for Jupiter. I think it might be a song, cha-cha-CHING. Voice: jovial elderly male.


World of Old Jove

Do you live on a planet that's bringing you down
00with its politics, power-play, war?
Do you frequently find that you're wearing a frown
00and, quite frankly, you're sick to your core?
Well, just send for a spaceship and shimmy along
00to the wonderful world of Old Jove,
with a Ho! ho-ho-ho and a bingetty-bong!
00let's get gassily into the groove.

You'll be glad, beyond glad, that you shipped to my space;
00you'll have laughter and love without pills –
all you need's a sharp spacesuit to keep with the pace
00of the storms and the heat and the chills;
so come on! board that spaceship and shimmy along
00to the wonderful world of Old Jove,
with a Ho! ho-ho-ho and a bingetty-bong!
00let's get gassily into the groove.
