Poor Pluto

Far out in the icy cold, Pluto
it's not a planet anymore you know
some scientists have ruled this to be
saddening many people like me
Pluto was the ninth planet here
poor Pluto is gone I fear
no, no, no this cannot be
it looks like a planet to me
it has an orbiting moon
and Pluto orbits the sun
it's status should not be in ruin
is it forever undone?
it's still a planet to me
and it will always be
it's the ninth planet like in days of old
poor, poor Pluto they've left out in the cold.

To me Pluto will always be a planet. I don't care what some scientist says who's only trying to get their name in publications and gain a little influence in the scientific community. Some states passed a law saying that when Pluto is in the heavenly skies over that state it is officially a planet.

You taught me something today. I have missed 30 years of school. When did Pluto lose it status as a planet? I agree with you. I was raised with Pluto as the ninth planet. I still believe. Thank you for the poem with some good information.

Pluto is a planet, I don't care what some stupid scientist claims, science isn't right, they just might be right and on this they're not!
