Notes About The Poem

 

 

*The International Astronomical Union

 

**NASA expert Jim Bridenstine is one of the many that still consider

Pluto a planet. (www.radio.com/alt1037dfw/blogs/alt-producer/nasa-chief-claims)

 

 

 

Pluto

Powerful professionals, the IAU,* said you didn’t measure up and
Labeled you a “dwarf planet” in 2006,
Upsetting the long-established belief in nine planets.
Tried and true supporters, many of them experts,**  
Object to this demotion and declare you still a planet!

They can call it what they want. To me it is and always will be a planet. What will they think of next? I hope you are having a wonderful day, Janice:)
