Extinction.

We finished stuffing the animals. 

The work went well. 

They appear so lifelike 

you must look close 

to tell the difference. 

. 

Centuries from now 

the children will come, 

and they will see the animals, 

how they once were 

in their various habitats. 

. 

There are still some 

animals left alive. 

These we will stuff, 

when they are gone, 

so the world will not lose them.
