Prehistoric
In a land before time among volcano’s smelling sulphurous
Where lava flowed, tornado’s blowed and weather was thunderous
Where man could only utter “Uggh!” and looked positively humorous
The world it was a violent place and dinosaurs were numerous
So they say!
Don’t believe your science teacher when he says all things were clamorous
When big thick monsters ruled the earth and nothing was ever glamorous
Where creepy things and bug - eyed bats infested every forest
And men were swallowed whole by some big hairy meatasaurus
Aint necessarily so!
Dinosaurs weren’t all bad, they weren’t all carnivorous
Some ate meat, some ate plants, some ate both, being omnivorous
There was more to life than eating, plopping, blowing off so rapturous
And killing off the human race leaving everywhere cadaverous
Honest! Some were quite nice!
I once knew this intelligent tyrannosaurus
From Russia with love his name was Boris
He’d married a curvy brontosaurus
From a plain in Spain her name was Deloris
They had two kids to add to the chorus
A boy called Rex and a girl called Doris
Both born under the star sign Taurus
They all lived happily in a suburb of Honduras
Boris was in Mensa his intellect was desirous
He wrote poetry and prose on home made papyrus
He would sit in his chair and study his thesaurus
Keeping a watchful eye on the neighbour’s stegosaurus
The crossword in the Times, his attack was always vigorous
Of rye wit and amusing repartee he always was splendiferous
He could quote from Shakespeare, Confucius and Pythagoras
He took his family out on trips in his old beat up Morris
Rex and Doris in the back, but next to him Deloris
They’d sing and shout and muck about this happy little chorus
They’d stop for water, stop for fuel until hunger became vociferous
Then they’d eat people!
Well nobody’s perfect.
