Dinosaurs

I was in Harrogate yesterday and saw this ! It took me back to those 'high and far off days O best beloved' when I was teaching in primary schools and often used this poem - 

         The dinosaurs are not all dead.
         I saw one raise its iron head
        To watch me walking down the road
        Beyond our house today.
        Its jaws were dripping with a load
        Of earth and grass that it had cropped.
        It must have heard me where I stopped,
        Snorted white steam my way,
        And stretched its long neck out to see me,
        And chewed, and grinned quite amiably.

This 'dinosaur' wasn't eating grass of course, but the old Sunwin House building, being demolished to make room for more restaurants and shops.
