3rd in the 'Watch Out! 2000' competition

As the sky is filled with twinkling stars,
All the planets are turning, even Mars!
The sky up there is so, so blue,
I don’t know where the astronauts go to the loo!
The sun, so hot, sends out its heat
That warms the sand and burns my feet!
Pluto, so far away and cold,
By the time I got there, I would be very old!
Though I must say I like the moon,
I hope the cheese that’s on there is Coon!
