Their wise and wakeful Zagabog,

They always tried to please.

For in those Secondary times, when monsters had their day,

Triassic and Jurassic giants about his feet would play;

And through the air there sometimes came the Archæopteryx—

A funny sort of feathered thing where bird and dragon mix.

“Your fossil,” said the Zagabog,

The humour-loving Zagabog,

“Will put them in a fix.”
