Earth's clock

Imagine that the earth was shaped

Twenty-for hours ago,

Then at 6 a.m. rains fell from the skies

To from the seas below.

At 8 a.m. in these soupy seas

The first signs of life appeared.

The dinosaurs calles seventy minutes ago

But at twenty to twelve disappeared.

Man arrived just one minute ago,

Then at thirty seconds to midnight,

Raised himself from his stooping stance

And started walking upright.

In the thirty seconds man's walked the earth,

See what he's managed to do.

Earth's clock continues ticking;

The rest is up to you.
