Natural History
We got there when it opened
And we raced right up to 4.
The dinosaurs were waiting;
Some excitement was in store.
We stopped at every case and looked
As Henry posed in front.
From room to room we wandered
On a dino-fossil hunt.
Attention started flagging
So we found our way instead
To the hall of dioramas
With their animals (all dead).
Just one more thing, we pleaded.
There’s a giant big blue whale
But the patience of a 6 year old,
It seemed, would like prevail.
We zipped our coats and headed out
Before it all turned sour.
Maybe next time, we will stay
A bit more than an hour!
