I’m Monty, a mammoth of old
I gave up the fight and got cold
the snow left me freezing
coughing and sneezing
a jumbo that’s not very bold
The Ice Age left us for dead
Terry the dactyl and Fred
we ceased to exist
and there is the twist
we’re still tied to you by a thread
Our fossils and bones from the earth
put on E-Bay to see what we’re worth
with carbon dating
you’ll be creating
a new way of giving us birth
Please leave us to lay where we are
we know evolution’s come far
so give us a break
and don’t always take
or keep little bits in a jar
An elephant’s closest to us
his tusks and a trunk are a plus
with his tough grey hide
he’ll give you a ride
and do all your tasks without fuss
