The final of the Dino-Cup,
The stadium is packed tonight.
Below, the court marked in the dust,
Above, the moon is shining bright.

The teams are out.  The whistle blows.
Gigantosaurus has the ball!
He thunders over oviraptor
(Who is really much to small)...

As a caterpillar crunches
All those lovely leafy lunches,
Does it raise its little eyes
To the butterfly-filled skies?
Does it watch them as they dance?
Does it long for just one chance
To escape its leafy place,
And fly free in light and space...
