Saurosaurus

Alas, this is another by that ever-prolific artist, Anon…

Saurosaurus

Did God like dinosaurs ?
The towering of sauropods ?
The horns of triceratops,
The T-Rex with his massive chops,
And soaring-over pterosaurs
Were all these monsters god’s ?
Did he marvel at their size,
Their armoured backs and pumping thighs ?

Were these both bright and beautiful to him
A great romance ?
And did he curse the asteroid
That saw his lineage destroyed ?
Are mammals just a consolation, then ?
A second chance ?
Does he look down on what we’ve bred,
And slowly, sadly, shake his head ?

Did god love dinosaurs ?
His scary scaly boys ?
And does he toast us with his cup
Each time we dig a fossil up ?
Are we bringing back the scores
Of memories and joys ?
Does he anguish at their lack ?
And wonder, should he bring them back…?
