When Dinos looked up at the sky
What Dragon Dreams did they desire?
What longings stirred their Reptile Hearts?
What set their scaly Souls on FIRE!!?

Evolution says the tomes
Consists of strength and skill not hope.
The ones who can out breed the ones
Who simply cannot cope.


But look! Most Dinos lost their genes
To Meteor's fiery, snuffling crash.
Skillessness was not the cause
That doomed them to a dead-end past.


But some did change themselves to Birds
With wings and ways to reach the skies!
Strength and skill were not their Ark:
The genes that longed to SOAR survived!
This was written when I was in Jr High, before it was well known that Dinosaurs were Birds, not Reptiles.
