"Sailing Out To Space"
I dream of sailing out to space,
Upon a yacht of stars.
With port holes all along the sides,
I'd gaze amazed at Mars.
With mast made strong with spider webs,
And sail of fluffy cloud,
I'd watch the Earth go sweeping past,
As out to space I ploughed.
With stars in front and stars behind,
And planets far and near,
I'd sail my yacht around the rings,
Of Saturn with a cheer.
And onwards passing Jupiter,
To watch the big, red storm.
Then far around its outer moons,
And through an asteroid swarm.
I dream of sailing out to space,
To catch a star or two.
Exploring through the universe,
And just take in the view.
Earth, Moon, and Sun
While the earth spins on,
Turning, turning
Toward the sun,
The moon floats by
In its circle
In our sky.
And while it floats,
Earth and moon, two in one,
Rush on
With the bright planets
In a ring
Around the sun.
And as they rush
And swing
And turn
The gases of the sun
Swirl
And burn.
Outer Space
I look up from 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.
I look for planets in the sky.
Nine Planets
Here are nine planets that we know.
Round and round the Sun they go.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars,
These are the planets near our star.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, too.
Neptune, Pluto, we can't see you.
These are the nine planets that we know.
Round and round the Sun they go.
THE FAMILY OF THE SUN
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun.
Here are nine planets in
the family of the Sun.
Mercury is hot,
And Mercury is small.
Mercury has no atmosphere.
It's just a rocky ball.
Venus has thick clouds,
That hide what is below.
The air is foul, the ground is hot,
It rotates very slow.
We love the Earth, our home,
Its oceans and its trees.
We eat its food, we breathe its air,
So no pollution, please.
Mars is very red.
It's also dry and cold.
Someday you might visit Mars
If you are really bold.
Great Jupiter is big.
We've studied it a lot.
We found it has 16 moons
And a big red spot.
Saturn has great rings.
We wondered what they were.
Now we know they're icy rocks
Which we saw as a blur.
Uranus and Neptune
We don't know much about.
Maybe you will study them
And then we'll all find out.
Pluto's last in line.
It's farthest from the Sun.
It's small and cold and icy too.
To land there won't be fun.
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun,
There are nine planets and
Now our journey's done.
