Adopted Pluto

Visual 1 Earth does ballet to stay in shape dancing before the rubbernecking moon that chases us around the sun making waves in oceans like our emotions …for an obnoxious pet. Mars and Venus are anxious lovers who can’t cuddle in their king sized bed because restless Earth sprawls wide between them constantly turning, warm and feverish. ...but not like Mercury. Mercury has cancer and a great tan from all the sun. Puerile asteroids caper about the solar system giggling and sharing jokes with the big galoot-- Jupiter is stupid, but loves a hearty laugh. Poop and fart jokes are favorites …Jupiter is always gassy. Saturn is too discerning for such unrefined buffoonery. She’s the hula hoop queen …4.5 billion years and counting. Loved by all, but secretly engaged. Mopey, woebegone Uranus wears the other ring. On their first date Saturn was pretty in pink and Uranus smelled awful …Jupiter loves that joke. Still, nobody stirs up trouble like Neptune who takes a three-pronged approach to everything and made Pluto cry with news of adoption. Since then, Pluto has grown …quite distant. All the while, the sun smiles a contented smile... ...and looks on. 05/28/15 Submission for Lexi's Art Contest Hosted by: Mystic Rose
