My Solar system travels
I started with Mercury
Morning star closest to the Sun
The swift footed and fast
Moody and temperamental to last !
I went next to Venus
God of love and passion
Beauty, mystery, scandal
Too hot for me to handle !
Next stop was Mars
Roman Red God of War
Apt I guess I pray
Men come from there they say !
Jupiter the king of Gods
“Zeus” as the Greeks named
I’d get lost here I think
Sometimes I’d wish that, wink wink !
The ringed planet Saturn
Was next on my fly list
But the rings got in my way
Or maybe the Devil had his say !
Further I went on in my pursuit
And reached the tilted Uranus
Father of Saturn, has been called
Is that why my spaceship stalled !
Neptune, God of the Seas
This would be my final stop
Cool, blue, mysterious
Was causing me to be delirious !
Pluto the dwarf and distant
God of the Underworld its said
Time to turn back, fool
Spaceship had run out of fuel !
So back to Earth I turned my self
The Solar system having been conquered
“Time for dinner” the wife was screaming
Oh, was I just day-dreaming? !!
