In these badlands dinosaurs roamed
in the Mesozoic era
till meteor strike dino stoned
in these badlands dinosaurs roamed
now paleontologists bone
remnants of long ago terra
in these badlands dinosaurs roamed
in the Mesozoic era

They roamed the earth with supreme distinction
Evolution prior mass extinction
Of giant forms, dominate thy land
Exceptional findings to understand
To recover and discover, fossils of old
To reconstruct, reform the mould
Fine tools to chip, we hammer away
Extracted fossils, in rocks they lay
Science of discovery, working replica
Evidence of skin and that of feather
The Mesozoic era, before catastrophe
Continents found, thy land and sea
Furry mammals, reptiles of the time
Dazzling dinosaurs crawling from the slime
Non-flowering trees, appearing tall
Conifers and mosses, plants of all
The varied forms, at the least complex
The Titanosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex
The Kronosaurus, beneath thy wave
Seizing for prey, beneath the cave
Born to adapt, hunters of the sky
Beak-like jaws of which to reply
Folded wings, yet stood to train
The great survivors that now remain

When dinosaurs lived
the Mesozoic era
was their time for life.
