PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A dinosaur with feathers

Became a bird one day,

And with the warmer weather

The mammals came our way.



Some comet hit the planet

And dinosaurs were gone--

That's how it all happened

Millions of years ago.



Wild creatures roamed around

And ate the dino eggs,

Some close to the ground,

And some with longer legs.



The flora and the fauna

Exploded with a bang

With ferns and protozoa,

Then came the whole shebang.



A tiny eohippus

Became a horse one day,

A walking rhodocetus

Became the modern whale.



The rodents would abound,

And other critters too,

That's how it went down

Unbeknowest to you.



A bunch of monkeys happened

And early hominids,

Who hunted other critters

To get something to eat.



Some primates climbed the branches

And fed upon the fruit,

While others turned bipedal,

Looking like hairy brutes.



That's how it all happened

From looking at the skull

Of our ancient brother--

The great Neanderthal.



So we're nothing special--

We simply have evolved,

While life is still a mystery

That no one can solve.



So you can love your neighbor

Or drink a beer or two,

Remembering a gorilla

Has relatives like you.
