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!
A very, very clever poem, Kim. I concur with your brilliant thoughts: Make Pluto A Planet Again(MPAPA) ! Thank you for sharing. So discerning and entertaining. To my favorites.
Calling someone dwarf is like lowering his stature as a human being.Pluto is a celestial entity and should not be called dwarf.
Very brilliantly and cleverly written! I found myself laughing at the last stanza! Your poetry is always very uplifting to read, thank you for sharing!
I like the humorous way you connect dwarf planets and dwarf people! Thank you for sharing this piece today. Your poetry Always makes me smile!
This poem is all at once brilliantly funny and a fair argument at the same time! When I was in school I was taught that Pluto was a planet too! I think it should yet be one at that!
