Pluto is a Planet (in Off-topic)

With depravity I break laws of gravity
Blast past the atmosphere to the last frontier
I go boldly through space and time
The sky's the limit but they're limiting the sky
I break orbit by habit
I ignite satellites and leave rings round the planets
A flying ace like that beagle
Nevertheless this alien remains illegal
'Cause their discovery don't cover me
The immigrant's been left in the cold to grow old and disintegrate
Discriminate against the distant and disclaim this
'Cause their small minds can't see past Uranus
But I shun their rays
'Cause stun's just a phase
And my odyssey runs in two-thousand and one ways
And I can see clearly now, like Hubble shoved off the shuttle
Here's my rebuttal:

It's a planet.

Who do you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney versus those who tried to ban it
If you don't agree go see interplanet Janet
Cause the sun is star like Pluto is planet
So lend me all ears and let me state my case
about all the types of satellites we must embrace
Cause like my parents' great grandparents - this planet was an immigrant,
to deport it's an offense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Apply the laws of Earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition 187
If Pluto spawns a moon, it will apply to the heavens.
I'll damn you like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this mote remote to affiliate
It's like taking ET's custody from Elliot
Support your Lilliput, 'cause simply put

Pluto is a planet

Do it for the children
(If not for yourselves)

I hold that it is morally and ethically wrong to give Pluto a "fast track" to planethood just because it's been included in the solar system illegally for so many years.

How can you tell a Kuiper Belt object that's bigger than Pluto, "Sorry, but because you followed the rules, you have to get in line behind Pluto, who slipped in before we figured out how to control our solar system's borders"?

We can't get tough on planetary immigration while at the same time giving a pass to lawbreakers and hooligans like Pluto.

Pluto, go home. Come back when you've got a real orbit and preferably an atmosphere.

Or lacking that, at least some oil reserves.

Or a spaceport to give us somewhere to send George Bush Jr. =D
