Hi, i just bought myself "The Indispensable CALVIN AND HOBBS", and am delighted to discover such an amusing book. I want to share a really funny poem. It is by Bill Waterson, reflecting the thoughts of Calvin, a small child who visits the museum and sees the skeleton of a dinosaur:What if my bones were in a museum,
Where aliens paid good money to see' em?
And suppose that they'd put me together all wrong,
Sticking bones on to bones where they didn't belong!
Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine
Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!
With each misassemblage, the error compuonded,
The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded!
Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,
The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!
The museum would comission a model in plaster
OF ME, to be called, "Evolution's Disaster"!
And paleontologists there would debate
Dozens of theories to help postulate
How man survived for those thousands of years
With teeth-covered arms growing out of his ears!
Oh, I hope that I'm never in such manner displayed,
No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.
That's it. Hope you enjoyed it.
