Were Dinosaurs Doing the Humpty Hump When the Meteeor Hit?

.....a study in ignorance

Were Dinosaurs Doing the Humpty

Hump When the Meteor Hit

 

 

Sometimes my thoughts are

surreal,

cascading through synapses

in disjointed ways.

Some would say, I’m crazy.

Maybe so.

 

Take this morning for example.

There I was,

scrolling through Yahoo news

when I came across an ad

for the upcoming movie,

‘Jurassic World Dominion’.

And I had to ask myself,

do you think the dinosaurs

were doing the humpty hump,

the horizonal bop,

the erotic ecstasy

when the meteor hit?

I imagine some looked skyward,

but suspect most

just kept on humping,

perhaps too, thinking

about a snack afterwards.

 

And then I thought, DAMN!

Not only have humans

found a way to extinct themselves

on the movie screen,

but, in this sexed-up world of today,

do the wild thing

as we watch the tipping point

implode!

 

How ironic,

not to mention surreal,

as in the midst of extinction,

we create more humans to extinct!

 

At least those dinosaurs

were oblivious to their end,

while we, knowing what is coming,

knowing we must act to prevent extinction,

just keep humping away,

hoping for an afterglow.

This brought a chuckle. Perhaps we are the dinosaurs now? Or are we ostriches, with our heads in the sand? Are we doomed? And if so, does it really matter? The universe would not miss us, I feel.

Thanks Robert for your thoughts.... the universe does not give a flying cow patty about us, it will continue whether we are here or not.... but this means it DOES matter what we do, if we want to survive and even if we stop this self destruction right now today, there will still be hardship for the next few generations due to the damage already done.... it's an urgent question that needs action immediately....

[Robert Haigh]

I agree. Action is needed NOW. I think the younger generation (or a good percentage of them) are leading the way in these matters, which is a good sign for the future.

A very deep poem, As humans we try to pro create as we seem to find ways to destroy ourselves.

Hi Dale, thanks for your review and yes it is very sad our self destruction.... and we are supposed to be the "intelligent" species...

[Lisasview]

Hi Redzone...your name please??
So this is rather interesting... Your connecting dinosaurs humping to people...doing the same..
Not sure I would call this a poem.. more like a story... which I did so enjoy reading..
We all need to do the very best we can..

hi Lisa on the computer, and living in Spain..... thanks for your visit and kind review.... My name is Curt (Curtis).... I think you will find that the majority of the poems I write, you will consider not poems but stories.... which leads me to ask, what do you consider poetry?? and why??

[Pryde Foltz]

The dinosaurs are not extinct; they became chickens. Not to downplay the extinction event but megafauna and microfauna cycle with each other over dominance always.

Although I encourage every being to live close to nature and care for its continuous and diversity, the media sells disaster because it gets attention. Cheap food stuff that in reality is terrible for the environment because it is terrible for the soil, is profitable. Sick people are profitable.

Fortunately even the media cannot compete with nature's ace card; as you pointed out, even a looming disaster from space cannot do that. We dance sideways and we evolve.

We have to rebuild our soil and continue to turn to alternative fuel sources, but we will be okay and now we have the ability to redirect rock stars in space too.

It's looking rosy just not on Yahoo news.

Clever write, Curt:)

( I hope I remember you named right; I am awful with names)

[redzone]

thanks Pryde for your review...
you got the name right, unlike me who was victim to spell check on your name in my comment on your poem... I missed the first one but caught the second...

thanks again for stopping by...

[Pryde Foltz]

No worries:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I like your use of "extinct" as a verb.
Doing the dirty as we go down the drain...dying with smiles on our faces?
do dinosaurs ever smile?

[redzone]

thanks Jacob, always glad when you leave your words... and I think in a dino sort of way they do smile... or perhaps I should say did smile... isn't extinct as a verb always past tense??? ;0)
