Analysis of Planets
Mercury, swift and small, races 'round the sun
Venus, bright and beautiful, shines above
Earth, our home, with oceans deep and vast
Mars, the red, the desolate, the lone
Jupiter, the largest of them all
Saturn, with its rings of icy gold
Uranus, with its tilted, swirling gaze
Neptune, blue and cold and far from home
Together, these planets dance and spin
In harmony, they orbit the great star
A symphony of movement and of light
A cosmic ballet, from afar
The universe, so vast and wild and free
A never-ending mystery.
