Pluto Slam It Planet

Pluto Slam It Planet It was Aug. 26, 2006 in Prague Some guys got together for grog Astronomers by name, came for a game To vote on the matters of science Instead they gave Pluto its shame To their blame they demoted the planet It was out there as solid as granite For millions of years it passed without fears Or concerns about guys with their beers Now science has banned it With a vote of 183 yes 187 no no no Planet Pluto must go The Czech Republic thought they were thinkers Allowing “Astronomers” in name, turned out to be drinkers True, Pluto is tiny and slow as you know Pluto is only charcoal and snow Where will Charon, Hydra, Nix, P4, P5 moon companions go? Are they merely a mirage of the planets pull Outnumbered by astronomers, political fools? In our solar system what ignorance grows 248 years to orbit our sun is far too slow for these men Pluto! You’ll have to move faster or move out again You can join our party in Prague....but then.... To be a member of our solar system, to justify your existence You'll have to move quicker my friend....and be sober to that end Slam It Poetry Contest 5/3/14
