an archaeologist's daydream

the dig is four-feet deep,
it's been days since i've been to sleep.
not much have i uncovered,
except...what's this?...i've discovered...
a femur of a lemur? no.
a thigh of a fly? no.
i've found the cranium
of a Martian geranium,
one with five arms and legs
who watched "Square Pegs."
three eyes and a pair of noses,
and a mouth that never closes.
two attena from the rear
at a hundred miles could smell a deer.
four-feet down
i've found it's crown.
a foot to the left.
i've found it's cleft.
oh joy, i've found it now.
no more six-hoofed cows,
no short-neck giraffes,
no flying calfs.
just a space-travelling fossil
that thrived on falafel.
