I'm need to write a journal analyzing Odgen Nash's poem "Next!" and I need a bit of help...
"I thought that I would like to see
The early world that used to be,
That mastadonic mausoleum,
The Natural History Museum.
On iron seat in marble bower
I slumbered through the closing hour.
At midnight in the vasty hall
The fossils gathered for a ball.
High above notices and bulletins
Loomed up the Mesozoic skeletons.
Aroused by who knows what elixirs,
The ground along like concrete mixers.
They bowed and scraped in repltile pleasure,
And then began to tread the measure.
There were no drums or saxaphones,
But just the clatter of their bones,
A rolling, rattling, carefree circus
Of mammoth polkas and mazurkas.
Pterodactyles and brontosauruses
Sang ghostly prehistoric chouruses
Amid the the megalosauric wassail
I caught the eye of one small fossil.
Cheer up, old man, he said and winked--
It's kind of fun to be extinct."
Thanks for any help, and sorry for any misspelling!
