Solar System Sprawl

Apparently the Solar System isn't big enough. Some astronomers want to open up our cosmic ports to a new wave of planet immigrants. These astronomers want to expand our little corner of the universe to 12 planets. I guess 9 isn't enough. They're not even real planets. They're called plutons. They're round like planets, but smaller. So here's my beef. Why can't we put real planets into the Solar System instead of these 2nd class planets? These plutons don't pay interplanetary taxes because, hey, they're not real planets!. So, they become a burden on the galactic economy. These astronomers say that there aren't enough real planets to fill these positions. I just think these astronomers are too lazy to look for some real planets. They gaze in their telescopes and say "hmm, somewhat spherical. Ok you're in!" Soon any old asteroid that has a curve somewhere will be allowed into the Solar System.
The new entries are called Charon, Ceres, and Xena and the order of the planets would be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, and Xena. If these plutons are let in, I would have to memorize a new sentence to remember the order of the planets. My current sentence is:

My Very Educated Mom Just Showed Us Nine Planets

With the new planets, the only sentence I could come up with was:

My Very Epileptic Mortician Cannot Just Sew Up Nine People Calmly Xinghua!

How does that make sense? So write your congressman and stop these wacko astronomers from destroying our Solar System. Keep our planetary system for the planets!!!

Here's my sentence:

Move Via Momentus Crawl Jogging So Ubiquitously No Person Can Xerrox.

Ramdom much?
