You’re Always a Planet to Me, Pluto

You know, just because Pluto’s been kicked off the planet map doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be giving it just as much attention as we ever did. We can’t all reach our potential. If you’re feeling sad today, sing some space songs, including this one (to the tune of “The Ants Go Marching Two By Two”): “Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Hurrah! Hurrah! Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Hurrah! Hurrah! Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto make nine. And they all go spinning, around and around they go.”

That is indeed a little Pluto that was in the back stairwell of the building. You really had to be there to understand the pure beauty and joy this little styrofoam planet could bring.”
