So jealous of their bigger cousins  
Gas giants guard their rocky moons  
Quite often lording over dozens  
Eclipsing sunny afternoons

Named as the fathers of creation  
The giants revel in their might  
Behave according to their station  
Eating a comet, they delight

Concealing diamonds in their mantles  
Rage prone until they’re disciplined  
And then, their stellar lord dismantles  
Their atmospheres with solar wind

With rings in tow, and always willing  
The giants put up a good show  
The star, though, it will get top billing  
The others – they bask in its glow
