THE PLANETS

When I look up to the stars
I think
Which one of you is mars?
And which one is the moon?
Saturn has its rings
And the
One which sings
Must be
Far away nep-tune.
Would it be
Very hot
Walking on mercury?
Is it too far
To ski
On tiny pluto?
Wouldn't get there anytime soon.
Just for my girl
I'd please her
With a holiday on Jupiter,
Venus might also be ok
To visit for a day
Maybe not though
It'd just cause a stir.
For what it's worth
I'll stay
Right here on earth,
It's certainly a bonus and boon
Because it'd be awfully shite,
If Ur anus was in sight
I'm sure I'd probably swoon.
