Oceanic Encounters of a Pinching Kind

Swimming in the ocean a wincing couple pinches Little creature on my leg not more than six or seven inches I looked again, to my surprise Hello! - a trilobite! Two pincers jutting from its head tiny, fearsome sight I scolded it: 'You are extinct' 'Now go away and I won't tell You'll get to live another day.' He stayed... So, I swatted him to prehistoric hell ~ THE STUPID ONE-CELL DUMBBELL

Love this story about an extinct critter. If this is a theme or meme about extinction, I'm in.
