Astronaut Stopping By a Planet on a Snowy Evening - Jon Sciezska

Astronaut Stopping By a Planet
      on a Snowy Evening

Which world this is I do not know.
It’s in our solar system though.
I’m thinking that it may be Mars,
Because it has that reddish glow.

But you know it could be Venus.
And if that’s true, then just between us,
It might be wise to leave before
Any locals might have seen us.

Could be Pluto.  Might be Neptune.
Don’t they both have more than one moon?
I’m running out of oxygen
I’d better figure this out soon.

Yes, space is lovely, dark and deep.
For one mistake I now do weep:
In science class I was asleep.
In science class I was asleep
