Irish Rovers - The Unicorn
A long time ago, when the Earth was green,
There was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen.
And they’d run around free when the Earth was being born,
And the loveliest of ‘em all was the unicorn.
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
Well now God seen some sinnin’ and it caused Him pain.
And He said, “Stand back, I’m going to make it rain!”
He said, “Hey, Brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do,
build me a floating zoo,”
“and take some of them”.......
“Green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born.
Don’t you forget My unicorns.”
Well Old Noah he was there and he answered the callin’,
And he finished makin’ the ark just as the rain started to fallin’.
Then he marched in all them animals two by two,
And he sung out as they went through,
“Hey Lord,”
“I got Your green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn,
I just can’t see no unicorns !”
And Noah looked out through the driving rain,
The unicorns were hiding, playing sally games.
They were kickin’ and splashin’ while the rain was pourin’,
Oh, the sally unicorns!
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Noah cried, “Close the door ‘cause the rain is just pourin’,
And we just cannot wait for no unicorn!”
The ark started moving, and it drifted with the tide,
And the unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
And the waters come down and sort of flooded them away,
That’s why you never seen a unicorn to this very day.
But you’ll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,
You’re never gonna see no unicorn!

From where or whom did these descriptions come from 29,000 years ago?...
Isn’t it great how they restore paintings almost 30,000 years old into such artistic pieces?
well, you know, drunken Irishman and singing, they make up all kinds of stuff...

Rhinos are unichorns to aren't they
Too bad the Weekly World News is no longer in competition with the National Enquirer. Imagine what they could do with this.
“Bat Boy has unicorn in his garage”
or “Bat Boy was “backdoor man” to Cruz Mistresses”
I’m always reminded of a bit from the Gulag Archipelago
about the mammoth remains found frozen in the Taiga.
Unfortunately, no specimens survived because the expedition
promptly ate every bit of the frozen meat.
Yes, things were that bad.
The Silicon Valley Unicorns will be joining this specimen very shortly unless they can produce a profit/lost sheet that has positive numbers.
Yes, we must find out what”environmental factors” caused it to die out so whatever is found out can be used to bolster the global warming hoax.
1) Was it pink?
2) Did it possess the ability to become invisible?
Somehow I knew unicorn man would make his appearance here on this thread.
If you try to ride one you may end up seeing rainbows.
If it went extinct 29k years ago that means they were tasty!
Lots of meat on that beast.
Many wooly mammoths were killed by human hunters.
PETA did it, People Eating Tasty Animals.
Clone it so we can find out what they tasted like!!
Okay, that's spooky. Ain't no skittles coming out of his ass.
