Make is for Mercury, who makes an
orbit closest to the Sun.
Very is for Venus the very hottest one.
Easy is for Earth, an easy
place to live, and what’s more!
Money is for Mars. It takes lots of money to reach planet four.
Just is for Jupiter just because it’s the biggest we
know about.
Save is for Saturn. "Save us a trip there,” we shout.
Up is for Uranus whose satellites are
up overhead.
