Someone has left a dinosaur
On a yellow café table
Under the trees at the White Hart Inn
On a moody Sunday in May.
It might be an Ankylosaurus -
But to be fair, it might not.
I haven’t been a dinosaur expert
Since I was eight years old.
It has wheels instead of feet -
Because evolution is mysterious -
And a curious dignity
Extinction couldn’t touch.
And if its owner doesn’t come back for it
I think the dinosaur will be fine,
Because after the late Cretaceous
The White Hart is child’s play.
