a poem by me
13Aug09
Slighted by the weak
Who surely must be jealous
These so-called “paleontologists”
Have grown so over-zealous.
They sit on gilded thrones
Casting proclamations from on high
“The Triceratops was docile.
It wouldn’t hurt a fly!”
“And the Ankylosaurus, surely
Was never known to brawl.
The Deinonychus most likely
Never hunted prey at all.”
“In fact, I think I’m right in saying
that all of them were quite
friendly and amenable.
Avoiding frays and fights.”
But oh, how the “scientist” would cower
If ever he was confronted
By the mighty jaws of the tyrant king
Whose teeth were quite un-blunted.
I’m sure his “theories” would change
After debate with a Tyrannosaur
And his postulations would fall apart
At the sound of its mighty roar.
