Synopsis

Strolling one day along the beach,
I bought an ice cream from the stand,
When I heard a seagull screech,
And swoop and seize it from my hand.

Soon after it had flown away,
This bird approached me in a dream.
‘Look mate!’ is what I heard it say:
‘We birds are less dumb than we seem!'

You humans think you rule the earth.
You’ve done so for a million years?
A million years? Don’t mind my mirth!
Just take a lesson from your peers!

Our lot, the dinosaurs, ruled this planet,
About two hundred times as long!
I tell no lies – I’m not a gannet--
You’ve really got the whole thing wrong.'

‘Our lot?’ I asked. ‘But you’re a bird!
The dinosaurs were all destroyed,
Millions of years ago, I heard-
Just wiped out by an asteroid.’

The seagull gave me a nasty look.
‘Well, birds are dinosaurs,’ it said.
‘You’d better put that in your book,
So not all dinosaurs are dead!'


The Rhymed History of the Dinosaurs’ will take you on a fun and fact-filled ride of two hundred million years where you will meet all the scary monsters like the T-Rex and the Spinosaurus that were once masters of the earth.
