Poem

In the book
In the online version

Book and online version

Sometimes I sit and wonder
About stuff I don't know
Like what the heck the earth was like
A hundred years ago.

Did cavemen ride on dinosaurs?
Did flowers even grow?
Well we could guess but that was back
A hundred years ago.

I wish they built a time machine
And they picked me up to go
To check out what the scene was like
A hundred years ago.

Did giant spiders rule the earth?
Were deserts filled with snow?
I wonder what the story was
A hundred years ago.

===Movie version===
Sometimes I sit and wonder
About stuff, I do not know
Like, what the earth was like
A hundred years ago.

Did cavemen ride on dinosaurs?
Did flowers even grow?
Did spiders rule the earth?
Were deserts filled with snow?

There were no books or humans
So how are we to know
What the earth was like
A hundred years ago.
