The Great Tyrannosaurus <br />Lived centuries ago; <br />Through marshes wet and porous <br />He rambled to and fro. <br /> <br />The most tremendous Lizard <br />That ever browsed on meat, <br />His length from A to Izzard <br />Was forty-seven feet. <br /> <br />The Great Tyrannosaurus <br />In habitude was not <br />What one would call decorous- <br />He ate an awful lot. <br /> <br />Lamellibranchs in sixes, <br />Iguanodons to spare, <br />And Archaeopteryxes <br />Comprised his bill of fare. <br /> <br />The Great Tyrannosaurus <br />Of all the world was king; <br />With trumpeting sonorous <br />He swallowed everything. <br /> <br />When everything was swallowed <br />Beneath the azure sky, <br />What naturally followed?- <br />The Creature had to die. <br /> <br />The Great Tyrannosaurus <br />That was so blithe and free <br />Hath passed away before us; <br />Then learn from him and me: <br /> <br />This earth can never nourish <br />An appetite like his, <br />So if you hope to flourish, <br />Don't gobble all there is!<br /><br />Arthur Guiterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-great-tyrannosaurus/
