if the sun were one yard wide

If the sun were only
one yard wide
Can you imagine where you could
land with just one stride?

Mercury would be but a dot
Venus and Earth, close in size,
and Mars just a little further
can you even surmise

Just how big and how far
the outer planets would be?
Jupiter, the biggest of all
would stand at 4 inches, see.

Next is Saturn, just a bit
smaller. The distance is amazing
though I do have to say.
Traveling through this universe would be less dazing.

As Uranus and Neptune, still
quite a ways away,
Would allow you to hop over to Pluto-
if you will permit it a planet to stay.
