Dinosaur Dance

Dinosaurs just loved to take the floor and dance
On tippy toes the size of garden sheds
And when they did they’d sashay strut and prance
Harmonic beats would shake Jurassic beds

They tripped the light fantastic verging heavy
Their favourite moves were known as the galumphs
You’d find them all way down upon the levee
In tutus and industrial grade pumps

Brontosauri would impress with pirouettes 
Making small tornados interspersed with gales
But the T Rex topped it all doing entrechats
Causing seismic action gauged on Richter scale

Their performances gave them renowned distinction
Although some say that it led to their extinction

I'm ecstatic about this one. A FAVE for sure. Such a serendipitous blend of the delightful, the historical, and the graceful --all rolled into one... I think that you should enter this into Line Gauthier's contest (Dinosaurs for kids poems). Sure, there are big words and advanced concepts, but kids NEED to be challenged, and once understood, kids will come back to this again and again and again. They might even learn something. (Is that against the law today? LOL). Super write! :) gw

Thank you very much for your kind and generous comments, Gershon. I had similar thoughts about demanding too much for a kids’ poem, but came to the same conclusion as you
