Don't Go to Jupiter



A trip to Jupiter is not for a honeymoon.

I know it is closer and warmer than Neptune,

There'd be an abundance of sightings of moons

For Jupiter, I think, has 63 clare de la lunes.

But if you’re flying through space, I wouldn’t fine-tune

For the planet with those pretty orange sand dunes

That are stirred like soup with a marmalade spoon.

For you see, those are storms, in a constant monsoon,

Not of bounteous rain, but gases, as in balloons.

It's dangerously troubled, and we’re not immune,

For we’d die in an instant, if we were marooned.
