Pluto is a Planet!

To the tune of “Yes, Jesus Loves Me”

Scientists have now agreed
That nine planets we don't need;
After nearly eighty years,
Pluto's place has disappeared.

Chorus:
Pluto's a planet,
Pluto's a planet,
Pluto's a planet,
Clyde Tombaugh told me so!


Pity poor Venetia Phair,
Victim of a ruse unfair.
She called Pluto by its name.
Will she be left with the blame?

Chorus:

Pluto, so the savants say,
Is a dwarf as of today,
Clearly, one more victim from
Size dis-cri-mi-na-ti-on.

Chorus:

Pluto, just like Socrates,
Was sentenced by majority.
Let’s hope that the voters may
Not be treated the same way!

Chorus:

Wonderful! I understand that there is a revanchist movement among planetologists to restore Pluto to its former glory- so hope remains.
