NO SPRING CHICKEN

I was already getting old
the year they first made dirt
and on that day so clear and cold
some of it soiled my clean shirt.

So I saddled up my dinosaur
to go down to the new formed river
where a dry ravine was before.
The icy water made me shiver.

The first crow egg had just hatched out
( yep the egg came before the crow)
and the first red wood was a mere sprout
it had just begun to grow.

The ocean water had no salt
'cause it was pure sans dino piss *note below
the earth was smooth without a fault
although I'd not swear to this.

I watched the whales learn how to swim
basked in polar sun ere it turned cold
Ozymandias ? Yes I knew him.
I reckon that I'm getting old.

It takes some humor to deal with age

I remember you! You lived down the road from me and we went to school together! I was the one who dipped little Wilma's pigtails in the dinosaur shit. LoL This was lots of fun! Had a great laugh! ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

yeah the continents were drifting so fast that walking to school was up hill both ways.
