Owls And Dinosaurs

Far across a distant sea
Upon the rocky shore
A tale was told of forbidden love
Between an owl and a dinosaur

They first met at a party
In the dinosaur king's house
They dined on crabs and vol-eu-vents
And the occasional passing mouse

The dinosaur, a mighty beast
Was forty three feet tall
And next to him, the tiny owl
Could barely be seen at all

And yet this strange, unlikely pair
Fell in each other's groove
From then they were inseperable
... the townsfolk disapproved

The dinosaur's friends said to him
"Love is the cruellest captor
But she's not for you, why don't you find
A nice velociraptor?"

The family of the Owl agreed
Suggesting plainly that
They wouldn't accept a dinosaur spouse
Why not find herself a pussycat?

But owl and dinosaur were not swayed
Whatever their friends said
They found a sinister minister
And demanded to be wed

The town were all invited
And the wedding was quite a sight
The left side full of dinosaurs
And owls all to the right

"Dearly beloved", the minister droned
"We're gathered here to see"
"An owl and a dinosaur joined together"
"In unlikely matrimony"

At this the crowd could take no more
They couldn't keep it quiet
Instead of a dinosaur marrying an owl
There was going to be a riot

But the dinosaur and the owl stood tall
And before the first pew was thrown
The dinosaur reached into his pocket
And retrieved a megaphone

"NOW LISTEN", he bellowed, which hushed the crowd
"There's no need to squabble and shove
There's a reason we're here and I think it's quite clear
The owl and I are in love!"

The crowd went "aww", their anger gone
Then sat down quiet and meek
And the owl flew up to the dinosaur
And pecked him on the cheek

And so that day, the wedding done
The pair were husband and wife
They'd done their bit for previously strained interspecies relations
And got on with their life
