Pluto¹ and Charon², 

circling each other in a never-ending tug of war³

Little did anyone know, especially ambitious Lowell⁴

That a single tug here or there,

Would deem all theories,

Now and a century ago, erroneous

Pluto⁵ and Charon⁶,

Charon, ever the loyal servant,

Rowing the departed across the dreaded Styx – 

The same one Achilles bathed in 

And Pluto, residing in his throne of Black

Watching over Elysium and Asphodel
