Demotion
He drew the drapes, nothing caught his eye
it seemed that yesterday had replicated itself,
only today it had chosen a deeper of gray tint.
On balance, it could have been

Side Effect of Pluto's Demotion
It was called a planet when I was young
Placed in the Milky Way after the "big bang"
Pluto is the Roman's underworld god
Hades to the Greek now that isn't really bad
Discovered by American Clyde Tombaugh in 1930
