A clever friend and colleague, the logician Stephen Pollard, innocently asked me this one day last year, and wittily but unwittingly triggered the sonnet cycle I am still working on, now about 130 sonnets long. I googled his question, and found that it seems to have been independently invented a handful of times after Pluto’s demotion from full planetary status. Glad you like it!
