Neptune

Neptune boasts the strongest winds 
And the wildest storms 
Deep blue Neptune 
Similar to the sea on a stormy day 
Its angry, uncontrollable storms 
Make Neptune perfect for its name 
  
Cold, light-hours away and uninviting 
Neptune holds many secrets 
Only a fraction of which have been made known to man 
Such as its faint, dusty and icy rings 
And companions as icy and unfriendly as their planet 
  
We’d better leave this bad-tempered planet alone 
As bad-tempered as the god from whom it took its name 
We don’t want to go near 
An icy surface where the most powerful storms ever existed
