Have You Seen Ur-Anus?
Have you seen Ur-Anus?
I certainly haven't seen mine,
except perhaps by mirrors,
and I haven't got the inclination,
or the time.
But I have seen Uranus,
thanks to a friend of mine,
through his 16 inch telescope,
a view that's quite sublime.
Before Galileo, Uranus was unknown,
a deep dark secret place,
even on the throne.
But thanks to the telescope,
we know Ur-Anus exists.
I saw it the other night,
when you bent over to kiss.
High-powered cameras exist everywhere,
so guard Ur-Anus well,
you never know when on YouTube,
it will be part of show and tell.
Well, maybe a moon or two.
Uranus is the brightest object to

recent eclipse of the Blood Moon
with his 16 inch telescope.

shot, full size, also showing five
of Uranus’s moons, nearby.
