Take To the Skies

This bloke said, ‘Hi,’ but we nearly passed him by My mate said, ‘You should listen, he's a scientist guy.’ He uttered lots of nonsense but it stuck inside my head And now I rarely go out cos I walk the streets in dread He said, ‘ What if the ostriches never could fly and a bit more evolution sees them take to the sky, you’d better make a bee line to a market seller and ask him if you might procure his biggest umbrella. If your coffee is alfresco when you’re shopping in town, you sit there and you sup it but the level don’t go down. Better put a hand or saucer over your cup but whatever you do, don’t ever look up.’ Might we then discover Darwin got it all wrong The evidence apparent in the god almighty pong I hope it doesn't come to pass till after I’m dead That elephants and hippos circle over our head I cannot help but think about the prehistoric era And the reason for extinction which could not be any clearer No cosmic collision killed the beasts that came before us They were smothered in the output from an airborne brontosaurus!
