Huge dinosaurs lived on our earth
     A long, long time ago -
But why they disappeared from earth
     Is something we don’t know.

​

Did an asteroid bump into Earth
     And throw dust into space -
And did this mean our precious sun
     Could not then show its face?

​

Well look up at the warming sun
     That shines high in our sky
And tell yourself that without sun
     Most life on earth would die.

​

Perhaps volcanoes caused the dust
     That blocked our sun from sight
For they spew out volcanic ash
     With all their power and might.

​

Then, there again an ice age could
     Have brought about their fate
By freezing water that they drank
     And killing things they ate.

​

Disease kills living things, we know,
     Both creatures large and small.
Oh, scientists have wracked their brains
     To know what did befall.

​

We only know that left on earth
     Are bones they’ve left behind,
So when you’re digging with your spade,
     You don’t know what you’ll find.

​

Genetic science tells us much
     And stored within a bone
Are lots of things we understand
     Which were, before, unknown.

​

You’ll marvel at the size and shape
     Of the dynamic dinosaur 
And want to learn so many facts
     That you never knew before.
