Just Before School Starts

Dear NASA:

You do not need to name 40 additional planets
in order to make me sit up and pay attention
to all of the work you do pioneering the galaxy
and making life more comfortable here on Earth.

Please do not make little children
memorize the names of 40 more planets
for the No Child Left Behind Act.

That is all.

SQ

P.S. Good luck with the publicity and funding.

Wouldn't it be cool if the person that turns the stars on at night forgot to switch the lights on.
It would drive NASA nuts, ha,ha..

Oh my. Third grade should be a fun year for kid number 1 this year.

Hmn. We can't hold on to the outdated idea that Pluto is the last and final planet in the solar system... Must progress!

Besides, isn't earthly geography a lot more important (and complex) for students anyway?
