Dinosaur Poem
Eighty million years ago,
Back in the late cretaceous,
Lived the great Tyrannosaur,
A fearsome and predacious
Therapod of monstrous size!
He weighed siz tons or more!
He epitomized the concept of
The killer carnivore!
His jaws had teeth like railroad spikes
With fore and aft serrations!
This dental hardware was designed
For quick eviscerations!
With thrashing bites and awful roars
The T. Rex would attack!
He was, it's clear, a savage
Mesozoic maniac!
Imagine then, the panic caused,
The horror and the mayhem,
When this monster came to town
And ate some folks this A.M.!
It was a sight few will forget!
He lunged into the crowd
The multitude became unglued!
Their screams were long and loud!
People pushed to get away!
The elderly and small
Were trampled underfoot by the
Advancing human wall!
Little Tim was on an errand
With his brother howard.
They dawdled by the candy shop
And both boys were devoured.
A camera crew from channel three
Arrived in town to give
A live report. At this they failed,
Because they didn't live.
At last the menace ate his full.
The big Tyrannosaur
Stomped away to parts unknown
where he had lived before.
Tyrannosaurs, though rarely seen,
Are certainly still around.
And no one knows just where or when
The next one will be found.
....Except me.
