Venus and the Moon were dancing the Texas Two-Step
Over Arizona’s desert sky one October night
When Saturn showed up and rudely cut in
That is when Venus figured something was not right
Venus beckoned her finger towards Saturn
Inviting him to help in her severe plight
Planning on tripping Saturn on his rotation
Sending him spiraling into space and out of sight
Moon, however, liking the way Saturn danced
Warned him of the intentions planned that night
Saturn did a slippery slide avoiding the intended trip
Continuing the dance much to Moon’s delight
Venus and Saturn spun away on their own path
And decided to dance the Tango in the night
One, two, one two three, then do the dip
They did it right thanks to the bright moonlight
