Pluto
This cosmic runt was called a planet
Till learned minds did opt to can it.
But Pluto’s in the news again:
Its moons need names on which to pin.
The names from which we’re asked to choose
Have classic touch…but they’re a snooze:
Like Hercules, or maybe Styx.
(I wish we had some better picks.)
One name with ties to Pluto missed:
Why Mickey isn’t on the list?
