Analysis of Outer Space
I look up from the Earth and try to see
The planets looking back at me.
I gaze at bright and distant stars
And search for Mercury, Venus, Mars.
I squint at the Milky Way way up high
And look for Jupiter in the sky.
Where are Saturn, Uranus, Neptune?
They're far away, high like the moon.
A telescope would be the best
For spotting Pluto and the rest.
But even with my naked eye
I look for planets in the sky.
A telescope would be the best.
