Yay, Iowa!

And hey, Pluto isn't mentioned in that poem-- I wonder if it is for reasons of scanning or reasons of an astronomical sort? :P

Poem published in 1913.

Pluto discovered in 1930.

Pluto disowned in 2006.

So, hey, the poem is accurate once more! :)

Excellent! I always strive for scientific accuracy with my poetry reading!

[winkingstar]

As well you should!

*is now sort of tempted to find a scientifically inaccurate poem*
