Glorious golden glow of our Sun
Planetary bodies orbit all around
Hot superstar convection oven
A celebrity wonder destined to be found
Inspired by Messenger of Gods
The Romans named him Mercury
Feisty li'l rock with dust-covered hills
Quickly it races ‘round the Sun in a hurry
Sulfuric blonde goddess of love
Terrestrial beauty of her coronae
Venus swirls her shapely clouds about
This beauty is known as Jewel of the Sky
Our own rare and precious blue marble
The miracle that is our Mother Earth
A beautiful planet teeming with life
Harvesting its miraculous greatness from birth
Mysteries surrounding wild eyed Mars
A red planet just off of Earth’s shore
Egyptians called him Her Descher
The Romans coined him God of War
Jupiter boasts dozens of satellites
A jovial giant ball to revere
Unimaginable metallic shards
Whirling about its stormy atmosphere
Sexy Saturn spins like a top
Ten hours rotation makes its day
Crazy hazy bands of yellow hues
Heavenly rings of rocks to envy away
Magnetic and charming Uranus
Cloudy bands of turquoise delight
With epsilon rings of icy boulders
Tipped on its backside a unique sight
Aqua blue babe known as Neptune
Hurricane storms that’ll blow you away
Funny looking plume named Scooter
Streaking brazenly across grey and gay
Frigid little guy of ice and rock
An eccentric orbit weird and slow
Neptune’s yellin’ “Get out of my way!
Your own moon’s bigger than you, Pluto.”
