Cosmos Configurator

When I gaze far off into the night sky The chaos is not pleasing to the eye. Seems there was never an overall plan When the beginning of time began. I don’t mean to sound so high and mighty But the stuff up there’s not very tidy. Yes, there are luminous constellations But it needs cosmic configuration. When figuring out just how to plan it I started on the jumbled up planets. It’s not a stretch to say they need sorting And here are a few things I’m purporting. First I thought they should be alphabetized Or at least ordered according to size. They could be arrayed by number of moons But I think that’s getting too picayune. Sure, there is a listing of other things Like arranging them by their colored rings. Or by what lie’s hidden beneath the dust That entirely coats their outer crust. I settled and placed them by dimension As said plan will cause the least contention. Starting with the sun, since that big old orb, Can’t help but lead; being so self absorbed. Petite planet Pluto, this time is first Mercury’s next, then trodden Mars comes third. After that Venus, followed by our Earth Which were in that order, now they’re by girth. Let’s jump up to Neptune, then Uranus Which happens to rhyme with Ignoramus. Yes fancy Saturn, you go next in line Jupiter’s last, since so easy to find. Let’s continue this celestial tale By systematizing the scene, broad scale. We’ll journey further than Venus and Mars To coordinate the world of stars. We can array each pulsar by brightness Which doesn’t interest me the slightest. Or chart them based on their distances from us Though why on Earth quibble with all that fuss? Instead we’ll do what the globe mappers did And arrange every star on a grid, We’ll plot a rough draft on large graph paper Like olden times, by light of a taper. Now, you can choose a square and stick by it. Worry free of the old cosmic riot. Where each and every star is viewed best Whether gazing to north, south, east or west. The sky is looking much better by now And all the skeptics will have to avow. That once you know how to rework matter Like here on earth, it’s the size that matters.
