ONCE UPON A LONG TIME AGO
ONCE UPON A LONG TIME AGO
T-Rex roars fiercely
the little hands holding the wool
feeling foolish
Mama-Rex scolds
"Now Junior...just you hold still!
Then you can go make a ****!"
Junior( Teddy-T to his pals )
looks outside the cave
a pterodactyl has the sky to itself
Teddy-T squirms
in envy swears he'll tear it
wing from wing
the **** wool
rolls itself into a ball
like a tiny planet
"Who invented wool anyway?"
T-Rex junior roars silently
"Deus-Rex how I hate these cardies!"
the future looks orange
a bright orange
the sky full of time to come
Mamma-Rex looks lovingly
on her fidgety son
"Oh it hasn't been this icy in ages!"
a diplodocus
saunters by
without a thought in its head
T-Rex Junior fumes
that he is missing all those
tasty time travellers
"Is it me..." muses Mamma-Rex
"... or is there more of them time thingys
this season?"
"Now, Junior..!" she scolds
"You know there will be always
more where they came from!"
a meteorite hurtles towards
the tiny blue ball
singing the song of itself
"Don't stuff yourself with time travellers
...ya hear me now...they're bad
for your teeth!"
the meteorite enters
the atmosphere
"Wow!" shouts Junior "Wow!"
