The Devonian

The Devonian was 359 million years ago
Also known as the age of fish, though
the plants and animals adapted to land
It all happened by God's mighty hand
The fishes didn't have jaws
They had a lot of survival flaws
But as animals do, they evolved
And their survival problems got solved
But then all species began to die
On the ground, grave-less they lie
87% of all species faced extinction
There was nowhere they could run
They were gone with the Carboniferous's rising sun
