First Line: Createous beast, I see against the sky
Last Line: A knowledge of the mighty reptile king.
Subject(s): Dinosaurs; Evolution


Createous beast, I see against the sky
Your towering form go walking down to drink
The ancient waters. Proudly holding high
Your lofty head you shortly pause and think
With lustful mind that you, the dinosaur,
Shall rule forever the life of this good earth.
Like a drone you wait unlonging, for
You stand and feel your might by right of birth.
But now I swing the glass of time around,
And view each epoch's faunal life in awe,
And see that science working long has found
A greater thing evolve by Darwin's law.
The scholars delight that fossil records bring
A knowledge of the mighty reptile king.
