Uranus, the Roman god of the sky
Is tipped way over on its side
Although this is still a mystery
Scientists think they know why

Perhaps, when our Sun was very young
The even younger Uranus
Into another planet did collide
And ever since that day
Uranus has been spinning
Way over on its side

Though made mostly of hydrogen
It has other gases too
It has traces of
Ammonia, methane, and water
That color Uranus softly blue

Uranus has 11 sets of rings
And over 20 little moons
Many are named
For women of Shakespeare
Ophelia and Juliet
Just to name two
