Deimos perplexing state of Martian crash test dummy

Anthropomorphic test device to explore
amply, cheaply tricked out
with super tramping,
albeit unsophisticated trappings
strewn ceiling to floor
available for purchase at Dollar store

nonetheless unmanned spacecraft made
perfect landing upon alien nation i.e. red
planet's moon Phobos, meanwhile corps

humanity to pollinate cosmos
ghost of Carl Sagan
would applaud as fitting encore.
