Nothing sadder Than calling for a mate no longer there, Last of a kind Singing into the darkness.
Ousted by the human race; One small light extinguished in a universe Of satellites and jet powered aircraft Metalled roads and all night diners, High rise living, where we even invade The skies to get a better view Of our formidable world, Lighting us into our own oblivion.
So how do you grade The importance of a creature, Not particularly colourful With a dull song, not very loud, That no one will really miss as it shuffles Off the stage of the world, No great eulogy, no curtain call Never an encore To join poor Dodo in the glass cased Museums of what we have destroyed.
