Jurassic Tempest
Torrential rain poured on that Jurassic day
The seas swallowed lands or just washed them away
Dinosaurs fled from the rivers that topped
And everything steamed once the downpour had stopped
Volcanos were belching black smoke from their vents
A soot laden sky topped an atmosphere dense
On high, lava flowed like the mountains were bleeding
Below them, no sign of the waters receding
Oil, coal and gas were still young in the making
Nobody knew it was there for the taking
And so to the high ground those giants were swarming
But few carried signs saying, “Stop global warming!”
