Brontosaurus


The Apatosaurus was very cross,
as you'll notice - full of rage.
Stomped his feet down in a huff,
it was not 'bout his ancient age.

Really he just had a tiff,
he longed to one day procreate.
But all the ladies ran and hid,
in part because his massive weight.

He never had a lack of trying,
always tried to say hello.
Then off they went so hurriedly
why did he have to be so slow?

Really though, he was a clod,
a reason they would not succumb.
He bragged about himself a lot,
that dino was so very dumb.

Dodo Bird


Dodo bird, where have you gone?
a flightless fowl and so distinct.
We can not find you any more,
why did you have to go extinct?

Discovered there upon a time,
on the island of Mauritius.
you welcomed them, with open wings
till they found you so delicious.

Why didn't you all just run away,
it's so hard to understand.
Least I can visit when I read,
all 'bout Carroll's Wonderland.
