XIANG lost his scales

transitional dinosaur skeleton, demystified
therapod descendants, crucified
claim or driven line decsent, alienified
all this, when XIANG lost his scales

modern lizards approximately living
confused confusciornis argued not instead, giving
chinese evolution, not forgiving
transition nor form, misleadin'.
the day when XIANG lost his scales

dinosaur bird, no way
fossil beds, feather lays
cryptic emptiness ,defied away
at the place where XIANG lost his scales

convincing primitive subterranean left, dr. Hammond
certain features math only, his command
feather model corrodes, reprimands
brnching shaft dinosaur hands
whales lectured pictures, distant lands
blood of hands drewn on walls of sand
the day old XIANG xiang lost his scales
