Uranus

My name is not the punchline 
to a joke about toilet paper 
     and Klingons,
(no matter how glorious
those warriors of Qu’noS)

My name is Uranus,
the namesake of Chaos
first ruler of the cosmos,
lover of sweet Gaia. 

Nebula gas and dust created me,
happenstance some would say,
but my beauty has no rival~
Saturn and Neptune are poor brothers. 

I am a puzzle fit for only gods to decipher,
mortal men will fear to approach me
in millennia to come, and I laugh
in the face of their desire to know me.
