Pluto

Long ago and late one night
A famous scientist looked into the sky
The image of a planet came
And Pluto was its name
Already around the sun
Eight more planets were having fun
Pluto joined to make it nine
But soon was left behind
Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Mars
All planets spinning below the stars
Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Earth
But poor Pluto lacks the girth
Now after intense debate
Scientists say of planets there are eight
Pluto’s fame will soon decline
Now that it’s not planet nine
Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Mars
Are flytraps, autos, or candy bars
Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Earth
But for Pluto there is no mirth
Long ago and late one night
A famous scientist looked into the sky
The image of a planet came
And Pluto was its name.
