meteorology??A Poem by fredi wrote this around the time of the first iraq war, i think it speaks for itselfWeapons of mass extinction When that meteor crashed 60 million years ago and smashed a giant crater, into the Gulf of Mexico Dust cloaked the earth in a deadly shroud bringing death to so many, the humble and the proud to extinction went triceratops, and noble iguanodon and scatty mastodon who forgot to put his hard hat on And oh! what a chorus from massive brontosaurus Small particles of dust, wiped out that Vegesaurus But no one was more vexed than Tyrannosaurus Rex who spent his final days wearing a look that said perplexed This emperor of all beasts this, king of the Cretaceous Brought down by a cloud??. Its really too outrageous! one by one… they all tumbled to extinction Well not all….but around 90% of em’ So some 10 % of creatures survived this annihilation And down through the years with descent by modification Produced a childlike ape with pretensions of grandeur Thought the world was his oyster, never stopped to wonder About chance that had brought him here And the obligation he was under To respect his lineage and realise at last there can be no future without a past The world we now live in is hurried and it’s insular And forgets that fateful day in the Yucatan peninsular I wrote this poem, I wrote it in some rush But I dedicate it to George ‘dubya’ Bush +++++ And of course the archaeopteryx Who just forgot to eat his weetabix!
