Dinosaurs V Meteor: the Rematch

They said that it could not be done
They warned it would go wrong
Debates were held across the globe
Discussions tough and long

Science won with madcap plans
To change the world forever
They cloned a bunch of dinosaurs
And made them really clever

The end result as you’d expect
The Dinos knew their worth
And quickly they reclaimed their place
As rulers of the earth

A hundred years, a hundred more
They grew in size and smarts
Determined they would make the best
Of this new given start

They loved and learned and had a blast
They lived without regrets
Until the day the dinosaurs
Discovered quite a threat

With eyes upon the stars above
These creatures down below
Looked up and saw approaching fast
A dreaded age-old foe

The meteor was twelve miles long
Another five in girth
And without doubt, this chunk of rock
Was heading straight for Earth

So history, it seemed to them
Was doomed to a repeat
Just when Jurassic 2.0
Was getting really sweet

Enter now our heroes two
Our saviours of the day
Claiming they could make this problem
Swiftly go away

Professor Rex and Dr Steg
Were cleverer than most
Though being humble dinosaurs
They didn’t like to boast

The took the stand, addressed the world
To calm the publics fears
They had a plan, one they’d prepared
Throughout their whole careers

“Don’t worry friends” The doctor said
His face set proud and grim
“Though we were bested long ago
This time we’re going to win”

“Before we fought with tooth and claw
We now have brains and wit
Last time destruction came to us
Now we take the fight to it”

A ship was built, a team was formed
The gears of fate were turning
Now was the time they put to test
Their centuries of learning

Blasting off with guts and gusto
Geared towards the heavens
The dinosaurs all crossed their claws
Awaiting Dino-geddon

It took their best, their toughest lot
To see the battle through
But just in time these fine heroes
Did what they’d aimed to do

The meteor, now dust and grit
Was scattered into space
The victors of this great rematch
The noble Dino Race!
