Archaeopteryx

Archaeopteryx, elegantly flies,

O'er the sulfuric prehistoric land,

Glides like ichthyosaurus in the skies,

Respect of kingdom air does it demand.

Radiant feathers point to a long tail,

While it gnashes its teeth, projects its cry;

Millions of years have forgotten its wail,

Deep in the Jurassic world so long gone by.

Ancestor of Birds, a link in the chain,

Proof living dinosaurs changed with the times,

Gone from the living the bones still remain,

Preserved for new study in stone of limes.

See how the creatures of past worlds took flight,

And whisper in awe at their awesome might.
