Pluto's Revenge
lost its planetary status,
even though the pics from space
reveal its most surprising face.
A fascinating world, for sure ....
just not a planet anymore.
Well, Pluto, thus robbed of its crown
wouldn't take it lying down,
Saw no reason for the fall,
does size matter after all?
By inter-planetary phone
it called the sun to make this known.
'Listen, Mister Sun,' it said,
'Why don't they pick on Earth instead?
They mess things up by night and day,
just so they can have their way,
resources ruin, spoil and squander,
isn't that a point to ponder?'
The Sun considered Pluto's plea,
and found that it had to agree,
True, Pluto was distant, small,
but did no harm, no, none at all,
and in an instant, then and there
sent out a mighty solar flare.
So still, eight planets fill the sky,
not nine, as was in times gone by,
but there's an empty space that jars
somewhere between Venus and Mars,
Ended the shame Pluto endured -
its rightful status is restored!

...To delineate the times that lovers miss,
...A thousand dreams can't beat a single kiss.
