My(Mercury) Very (venus) Educated (Mother) Just (Jupiter) Showed (Saturn) Us (Uranus) Nine (Neptune) Planets (Pluto). However,that all changed in the year 2006, when International Astronomical Union took away our beloved planet Pluto's status as a planet. All the ryhmes we heard were suddenly useless.
