Dinosaurs


Dinosaurs


Whoever would have thought- a great big dinosaur
would start out very small, inside an egg and bore

A hole to then come out-
just like a bird, would peck;
into the world, be born- 
grow tall with a long neck.

There were so many kinds, 
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Ceratosaurus and 
Sauropods, Raptorex!

What funny names they have- all different as can be,
as were their shapes and size- but all ate hungrily.

Some ate the leaves on trees- 
we call them herbivores;
the others, killed for meat- 
are known as carnivores

And did you know that they
became extinct in time?
They were not able to
adapt to change in clime.

But they still carry on- in quite a different way-
the genes from dinosaurs- helped form some birds today!
