FOSSILS

At midnight in the museum hall
The fossils gathered for a ball
There were no drums or saxophones,
But just the clatter of their bones,
A rolling, rattling, carefree circus
Of mammoth polkas and mazurkas.
Pterodactyls and brontosauruses
Sang ghostly prehistoric choruses.
Amid the mastodontic wassail
I caught the eye of one small fossil.
"Cheer up, sad world," he said, and winked-
"It's kind of fun to be extinct."

- Ogden Nash

Good one! Is that from "The Golden Trashery of Ogden Nashery"?

I’m sure it’s in numerous volumes. I first heard it in the poems he wrote to accompany the Carnival of the Animals.
