Dinosaur

What are these ancient creatures? Which once dominated the earth Left a mark which we will never forget They came and saw during the Triassic era And they continued their reign all through the Jurassic era Before we starting spending pounds or dollars or Lira 230 million years ago They dealt with the mammals of their time With just one blow And devoured other reptiles as well Nice and slow They ruled the seas and oceans almost completely And they hunted for preys on land quite discreetly Pterodactyls controlled the skies before the coming of jets and drones And they communicated with their peers without the need of cellular phones They lived through the ages for more than a hundred million years And were the masters of lions and even big brown bears Before the coming of *****sapiens They roamed the sands And conquered other animals in many distant lands With its blade like teeth and an enormous jaw Tyrannosaurus Rex was the largest carnivore they ever saw But my favourite was the herbivore, Triceratops He could repel an attack by the T- Rex until it stops And had two horns on its fore head like the sign Taurus With huge talons on its feet that looks like gladius And the dumbest was the plant eating Brachiosaurus With its long neck which made it look simply ludicrous The dinosaurs prospered and flourished And they were all over the place They were man’s predecessors And ushered in the human race By design the dinosaur was no bird or reptile But it may have comprise of the two Because its spine stood erectile Always looking for something to bite or chew One day an asteroid came crashing down And wiped them out All the dinosaurs who used to live in our town The proof of their reign Lies deep in the soil While their fossils remains Their flesh became crude oil
