M P A P A Poem by Kim Barney

For most of my life,
Pluto was a planet.
Now scientists say
that Pluto is a dwarf planet.

So dwarf planets are
not real planets?
That's like saying
that dwarf people
are not real people.

I think Pluto is very sad
to not be considered
a real planet anymore,
just as dwarf people
would be sad to not be
considered real people.

Dwarfs already have
trouble with feelings
of self-worth.

Everybody knows that
six out of seven dwarfs
are not Happy.

Make Pluto A Planet Again!
