Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

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

Alexis Y. November 16, 2020 at 4:13 PM 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 Gershon Wolf November 17, 2020 at 3:41 PM 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.

John Watt November 15, 2020 at 10:15 PM 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 Gershon Wolf November 16, 2020 at 1:42 PM Ha, ha, 'Moon Unit.' You father was one of my favorite musicians. ~ Dweezil
