Orb Gets Reamed!

Pluto gets the shaft!

                                                                    

                      Picture it, one day you're proudly one of the nine,

 

the next you're considered only a planetoid--aligned

 

with the moon and such of similar size.

 

Now they say you're a tiny chunk of rock in the guise

 

of the big boys, the eight anointed ones,

 

full planets in the rarefied non-air kissed by the sun.

 

I'm telling you, if it were me, I'd be hacked,

 

thrown back just because of size, with no tact

 

whatsoever--it's sizeism, that's what it is,

 

it's not fair, gee whiz!

 

I mean, all those years of nine being the sum,

 

only to have you downgraded to bum!

I grew up believing Pluto ws one of the 9 planets. but I guess it just doesn't have the right stuff...
