[sciencebabe]

Good one!

[doaftheloaf]

Though budget concerns may constrain us

Missions to other worlds entertain us

Though some say it’s stupider

To send men to Jupiter

I’d rather go there than Uranus.

[MrSkeyeguy]

Well, I once wrote a limerick about Uranus... Seriously at 43 you'd think I'd be over that one, but nope!

[sciencebabe]

Here's a new limerick since Pluto's no longer a planet...

Pluto of noted renown

Its small & its far & its round

A planet demoted;

it's orbit is loaded

with more iceballs than should be found.

Thank you for adding the new limerick for Pluto...I can't wait to share this with my third graders on Monday!

[doogrisa]

pretty cool :)

[acr08807]

I once wrote a limerick that starts An Earth sized planet is Venus. I used a few different rhymes, though. I think maybe given the family nature of this video, I'll just leave it at that.

[sciencebabe]

I think I know that one LOL!!

[acr08807]

This one?

An Earth sized planet is Venus

Home to girls of an int'resting genus

Those Venusian beauties

All attend to their duties

And only SoHo comes between us

[DarkSqueaky]

This is great! Thanks for posting it because I am going to use it in my 3rd grade class tomorrow! Fantastic =)

[sciencebabe]

We are SO glad to hear it. That's what we made it for. My 8th grade grandson still remembers the order of the planets becaue of this song!

[DarkSqueaky]

I want you to know that this song was a HUGE hit in the class. They didn't want to stop singing it and kept bringing it up the rest of the unit without prompting!

[sciencebabe]

Thanks. That's great to hear about! I will pass it on to my cohorts.

We once had a class of 3rd graders (I think) who memorized the constellation rap. They were taught the Latin roots of the constellation names as they learned the rap. They sent us a tape with a recording each child singing it.

We had a blast with that!

[karmavirus]

you know this guys has a huge urge to shout out "LEGALAIZE IT!" on stage in front of the kids.

[mystimayhem]

wow. lol - I suppose you guys don't do jack daniels after your gigs... :0) this was cute.

[vetonu]
