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!”
