Jim Slaughter Poet Light Verse

Critterature: A Lesson From The Dinosaur

Dinosaurs once ruled the earth
And their bones are found all over.
They're in the ground
Just waiting around
For some paleontologist to discover.
There were thin ones, and tall ones,
And fat ones, and small ones,
But they all lacked one basic requirement.
Though all were distinct,
They all went extinct
'cause they didn't plan well for retirement.

Hilda Greenhough September 20, 2024 at 3:27 PM This is a lovely look back at Earth's early days. We are still finding bones. The plants they ate are interesting too. Jim Slaughter September 21, 2024 at 9:24 AM Thanks, Hilda. Too bad the "herbivores" don't get as much press.
