Pluto Got the Shaft

I have had this question That's been bouncing in my head for quite some time So while I'm at it I just thought I might as well ask it in rhyme Out of all the Disney characters I feel compelled to ask How come Pluto is the only one That ended up getting the shaft Let's start this off with Mickey Who rules the Magic Kingdom with all of his might Although with that high squeaky voice I believe his underwear is notched a tad to tight Then there's Daisy and Donald Whom I can barely understand It still though is quite clear to me They speak in a language known to man Poor ole Pluto I wonder What goes through his mind While his tongue is lolly gagging With his tail keeping in time And what about that Goofy Who can barely dress himself That dog carries on conversations Even when there's no one else So go ahead I tell you Take a look at the whole batch And you tell me that Pluto Is not the one that got the shaft While I'm thinking about it There's the planet Pluto out on the edge When did we decide to kick it off Of our planetary ledge But I digress because it's Disney To whom I throw this question at But believe you me it's NASA Who will be at the center of my next rant So out of all the questions in my life That I have ever asked There is no simple answer to why Pluto got the shaft
