Megafauna ... Leftovers

Today’s word is “megafauna” ... large or giant animals, especially of given area. (Dictionary.com)

Leftovers
Bones and giant footprints,
Discovered underground,
Eggs petrified in situ,
Surprised when they were found.

All the megafauna,
Now is most extinct,
On earth for millennia,
Then gone in a wink.

But they say it’s true, so true,
Giants wandered here,
What else must have happened,
Isn’t really clear.

We all believe the things we choose,
With or with no evidence,
Those who cannot make a choice,
Left on a painful fence.
