The Discovery

[Parkinsonspoet]

Discovery

In a former quarry pit alias Eden Project
A scientific discovery we did not expect
A fossil gigantic, a huge dinosaur skull bone
Dug from under the earth a new species unknown

Archaeologists gathered to discuss and decide
Why this dinosaur skull had such a huge brain inside?
Only one theory did they advance and propose
A dinosaur with language skills they did suppose

A wordy dinosaur they called the Thesaurus
Did it compose dinosaur songs with verse and chorus
Punctuate its sentences with antonyms and synonyms
Prehistoric grammar, strict rules , were more than a whim

Did it face fierce predators and give them some lip
Dismiss the Trex with a witty well aimed quip
Sharing romance stories with the Brontesaurus
Form a novel bookclub that came long before us

Reptile giants communicate, teasing with banter
Debating philosophy to find out the answers
A long lost world parked in the Jurassic period
Thesaurus conversation, topics are myriad

[Johntee]

All that
Has gone

Before we look

At in vacant wonder.
They ruled, yet they were

Dancing on precipitous
Jura. Snuffed out by the

Chicxulub meteor

Now it's our turn

To teeter to
billion-fold ends
Manifold in number
