The Meteor is on its Way

   O, how will we ever cope
     The dreaded meteor is on its way
   The weather mavens say ‘No hope’
     that those dinosaurs will live another day

   What will we tiny little mammals do
     without our super-sized friends
   btw: They’re also predicting an ‘Ice Age’ soon
     Whoa is us, inevitable is our end

   But wait, what’s this I hear 
     Wooly mammoth and Mr. Mastodon
   Grown large of a sudden
      Surely we too can overcome our fear 

                *****************

   Millenia later, Charles Darwin wrote that all species must
      change their ways from time to time... 
         To survive, we adjust 
   having accumulated too much ‘climate convenience rust’

Creative work. God only knows what is coming on this earth, but He gave us some information in the Bible about somethings that will happen. We are beginning to see the evidence of what is to come. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
