How The Dinosaurs Became Extinct

It wasn't a comet that killed them, blocking out the light of the Sun
So the plants couldn't grow anymore and starvation had begun.
It wasn't a change in the climate, or an ice age very cold
That wiped out these slow moving, clumsy reptiles of old.

'For alien spacecraft to come to Earth would take too long,' some cry,
But aliens live forever, they never grow old or die.
A squadron of space ships from Sirius B
Had in each vessel a large fruit tree.
Ten thousand years stuck in their ships,
They were tired of the fruit and its little green pips.

When the first alien crew landed on Earth they saw meat, meat, meat galore,
For their ship had landed right next to a great big pleisiosaur.
One of them took a phasor and shot the pleisiosaur dead,
Next day they saw a brontasaur so they had one of those instead.
There were half a million aliens and they all liked dinosaur meat.
The reason dinosaurs died out? They were much too good to eat.

Aliens are very like us, as astronomer Fred Hoyle said,
'It's eyes would be next to its brain, an alien would have a head.
And if it needed its hands to work it would have to stand on its legs.'
Since mankind evolved they've pretended to be part of the human race.
Many scientists and professors come from that far away place.
Marconi was called Isaac Newton a few centuries back in time,
Now he works in a university at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
