Easy that, no.

Ray, how come astronomers get to vote on stuff?

Yeah Crumby, and how come, in this latter time and place, are they voting on, what’s a planet, fer heaven’s sake?

Beats me.

Beats me.

Beats us. Let’s go ask Rayetta.

The bosom companions, both Ray and Crumby, exit the laboratory and head on out to the east pasture where the Lovely Druidess Rayetta (LDR) is watering the cows.

Say Rayetta, Crumby and me want to know how come astronomers get to vote on stuff.

Crumby and I, Ray.

That’s right Rayetta. Both of us bosom companions want to know.

Hmmm. All righty then. Crumby, take this hose and hose down that cow. No, not that one, the red one. There that’s better. Look, she likes it. She’s such a good cow. No, not an evil cow at all.

Er, Rayetta, about the democratic astronomers?

Well now boys, they just vote on definitions. Crumby, stop hosing that cow. It’s had enough for Goddess’ Sakes. Look, you got water up its nose, the poor thing. Hose that other one. No, not that one, the brown one. There, that’s better.

Yeah but, how come botanists don’t get to go off to a nice location like Sweden and vote on stuff. Yeah, and how come it took those astronomers until now to vote on, what’s a planet, fer heaven’s sake. Yeah and how come.....

Calm down boys, you especially Ray, you’re liable to chafe yourself again.

Yeah but......

Now both of you calm down. Crumby, hose Ray and then hose yourself and then hose off Luciferetta.

All righty then, which one is Luciferetta?

Focus on one hose event at a time Crumby. First do Ray. There that’s better. Look how calm Ray is now. Now, do yourself Crumby. There that’s better. Now do that black cow, that’s Luciferetta. She may be an evil cow, so be careful.

Whoa! Nice cow, nice Luciferetta, here’s some nice water, fer ye.

Crumby, go around and hose her under her tail.

Er, I don’t know about that Rayetta. She might not like it.

Crumby!

All righty then. Mercy. Ray, pull up Luciferetta’s tail, dang it.

Obviously, Ray and Crumby have their hands full, hosing Luciferetta. The insatiable curiosity of the bosom companions regarding the democratic astronomers should await the anon, maybe.
