I've noticed of late that several of my fellow bloggers have been pondering the decision of the astronomical community that Pluto, which most of us learned as the ninth planet in the solar system, is now no longer to be considered a planet. Not wanting to miss out on a literary movement, here is my small contribution to the general discussion, with apologies to fans of "Popeye the Sailor Man."
I met a young maiden from Pluto
Who said, in a voice rather cute-o:
"If my planet is banned,
How'll I 'ere get a man?
I may have to settle for Bluto!"
