A poem based on “A Sound of Thunder”

Eckels went on a time safari to kill ancient animals in time,

some people might think that this opportunity is sublime.

The year was 2055, in fact it was the future,

the time machine went fast through the past,

Eckels and his two inexperienced companions were probably really scared,

until the fearful ride passed.

Their guide, Mr. Travis, warned they not to stray from the path,

or else they’ll have to feel his wrath.

The little group shot at a Tyrannasorus rex,

even though the planning was quite complex.

When they got back though, the setting was quite bizarre,

a lot of things were different, not what they expected them to be,

nothing was the same inside, not even a single flea!

While Eckels was cleaning his boots, he noticed something shiny,

it was a butterfly, so tender yet so tiny.

Travis was unhappy, because Eckles didn’t obey his order.

he raised his rifle and shot Eckels, in a single sound of thunder.
