In case you missed it, Lesley's Stahl's feature this evening on CBS' 60 Minutes was fascinating. It concerned the (debateably) exciting news that scientists, if they keep working on the research, may be able through DNA and cloning to bring dinosaurs and their peers back to life.

Yet even Science could not predict that an unexpectable result of hearing about this possible scientific breakthrough would be a  brief verse which the news has spurred for ill or good, so now it must be released from its tethers:

When wooly mammoths come again

I hope they stay in cages

they're much too wild to roam about

and chase me in their rages.

And if T-Rex, all thirty tons
of hunger, claws and teeth
Should drop by the house for lunch
We'll feed him meat and tea.

I like to think of them as a memory.

I'm with you Granny, just because we can doesn't mean we should.
