Did Neptune Uranus?

I'm surprised, how about you?

Bet you feel the same way too 

Thought they each had a distinct hue

Now I find out that isn't true 

 

We were taught as girls and boys

Uranus hue? A pale turquoise 

Neptune's was a cobalt blue

Now what am I supposed to do?

 

What's the reason for the lies?

Don't want excuses, or no alibis

Must be something you can devise 

Please just tell me, don't want to surmise 

 

There's just one thing left to say

Hope you didn't 'planet' this way

That the worst pun you've heard all day?

When it comes to dumb jokes you know who

Who's the worst? Me, that's who!
