Maybe it's because we're so obsessed with property, <br />real estate, that we assume <br />this 375-million-year-old fossil yearned <br />to make it from the sea to golden sands <br />and further earthly joys? That's assuming <br />that it thought like Darwin anyway? <br /> <br />Maybe a refugee from <br />the Garden of Eden <br />who thought seaside holidays <br />were more fun? <br /> <br />Maybe it just tired of pursuing fast food <br />which it could never catch on land <br />with those pathetic flippers, and <br />reckoned there was more food out there <br />that might swim into Mr BIgmouth! <br /> <br />Remember, even you got tired <br />of watching Baywatch on a hot <br />summer's day, when the <br />surf's up? And did you notice <br />that fossil's built <br />like a surfboard? <br /> <br />No contest.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/evolving-thoughts/
