A marble cross? Too Christian.
And concrete cherubs? Kitsch!
Urn-topped sarcophagus?
My dear, so 'newly rich'.
I thought about a statue –
Equestrian might do –
But I'm petrified of horses
And dislike pigeon poo.
Then, browsing the museum
(Well, it's warm and dry and free)
Down in Palaeontology
The concept came to me.
At first, I just dismissed it,
Thought 'That's absurd', it's true.
But as I mulled it over
The more the notion grew.
I'm now deep in equations,
For pressure, time and heat.
With added quartz and silica
I'll polish up a treat.
