Make Pluto A Planet Again

Rating: 5.0

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.

Calling someone dwarf is like lowering his stature as a human being.Pluto is a celestial entity and should not be called dwarf.

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!
