Jack Horne Poet Rubaiyat

Colonisation

The beauty takes my breath away,
I know my kind will want to stay
On this new world that I have found -
It’s somewhere in the Milky Way.

The creatures of this wondrous place
Are scaly lizards, wild and base.
Such monstrous things must be destroyed
So we can spawn another race.

I take a sample of the turf,
Report the planet has such worth,
Then leave and freeze the world in ice
To kill these dinosaurs on Earth.

Carolyn Devonshire April 14, 2011 at 2:59 PM So THAT's how the dinosaurs died! Some sci-fi movies depict aliens with reptile features, so you had me going for a while, Jack. Will the aliens return to bestow another Ice Age? Wait and see, my friend... This poem goes to my favorites! Love, Carolyn
