WHAT THE DINO SAW
(in the Library)
Oh no! I can’t believe it.
I’m not in any books.
It’s such a shame because I have
such stunning dino looks.
I know I’m on the small side –
the time warp is to blame –
I shrank across the centuries
I passed through as I came
to see the distant future-
to see how Earth would change.
But what a shock this gives me-
something’s really strange
for all my friends are listed here
but there’s no sign of me.
I’m in a state of crisis
with no identity.
It’s bad enough to realise
the dinos all died out.
But who am I? What does it mean?
I think, yet I’m in doubt.
My world has crumbled round me.
I’ll make this quite succinct-
Instead of never having been,
I’d rather be extinct.
