Giant and Dwarfs

                                                 Giant and Dwarfs

Dr Abe V Rotor

 
Author's children Matt and Ann, pose under a fossil of Tyrannosaurus.   
Photos taken by the author 36 years apartDinosaur Exhibit, Metro 
Manila 1987, and Queensland Museum, Australia, July 2023. 

Who says the big will never fail?
Look at the dinosaur -
It did not live to tell the tale.
The mystery remains in store.

The young ones wonder at its feet,
Reliving its life on a film.
How many children can it eat?
Or would it heed their scream?

Ask his brother, the cockroach.
Scan the anatomy of the fowl,
Map the genes of the canny rats,
Or the wisdom of the hooty owl.
