An Asteroid Vs. The Earth Poem by Paul Warren
An Asteroid Vs. The Earth
An asteroid collided with earth that was 10 kilometres wide
That wiped out the dinosaurs when they were fried
Putting stuff into the atmosphere for a two year winter
And this was what gave us mammals a kick starter sprinter
It would only need an asteroid 3 kilometres in diameter
That would have a similar effect today without fetter
We may only have a warning of two weeks time
To prepare if we were a target of an asteroid we'd find.

It's frightening but at least the odds are much less than a 27000 kilo hydrogen lithium A bomb falling to earth and giving the cockroaches a kickstart sprinter I'l take my chances with the asteroid. But it's a great poem to think about..

Thanks for drawing attention toward the possibility of an asteroid colliding with earth. A number of asteroids have been detected which might pose a threat to life on this planet. Thanks.
