Summer Extinction Event
Riding tricera-bike and scooter-saur
Silly story crafted while we swing
A giant beach ball boulder game
After a ride on pterodactyl wing
A prehistoric potty break
Toilet paper turned to giant leaves
Red rock fruit and Loch Ness water
Bone butter and a side of mini-mammal cheese
Wait, I see a shadow overhead
Comet Copper Beech is coming
Homework ash clouds will rain down
Cooling the warmth of summer sunning
With prehistory over
Winter wonderland will soon begin
We’ll trade our reptile hides for space suits
And bundled up moonwalks to school again
— April Resnick
