Alan, the Astrologer

Hi! I'm Alan the astrologer I used to be a mythologer Here's the forecast for tonight I'm sure you'll see I've got it right The stars are green The moon is pink The North Star is on the blink Venus is out to dinner On her diet Mars looks thinner Jupiter's a god of Rome Saturn's rings are made of foam The Milky Way's a candy bar The sun's too big to be a star Pluto is a goofy mutt Uranus has a charming butt These true facts I tell my clients All MY predictions ~ based on science

Lol! Gershon, I really loved this hilarious write! Where was Alan, when I was taught about the constellation? I enjoyed the read my friend:-)Alexis

Well, I think that Alan must have still been a 'mythologer' when you were learning about the constellations. Sorry about the 'consternation.' lol. Thanks, Alexis.

Thank you, Suzanne... I do better late at night. All my normal (stupid) inhibitions have worn away by then. Smiles for miles, Gershon

Dr. Alan, your head may be in the clouds, but you definitely have stars in your eyes! Your imagination knows no bounds, and I'll be whistling this clever little 'Nep'-tune all night. Pluto and Uranus were my faves. This will most certainly have 'universal' appeal ~ Moon Unit

Ha, ha, 'Moon Unit.' You father was one of my favorite musicians. ~ Dweezil
