I have a soft corner for the strange creatures of the Permian.
Not as celebrated as the dinosaurs who came after them, but somehow more enigmatic as a result.
Mammal ancestors. Sort of. Oddly shaped.
And all of them went out in the end Permian extinction.
I’ve been changing the last 3 lines back and forth, to get the right number of syllables. I think it’s ok now, though I’ll feel differently in the morning
