Mummy took us to the zoo she hoped it wouldn’t bore us In truth I think that mummy knew we’d see a Brontosaurus I stroked a small Triceratops it had a tiny pink horn I fed him all my chocolate drops the keeper eyed me with scorn I kissed a Tyrannosaurus Rex When I climbed a big step ladder Mom did all the safety checks else the keeper would get madder We were chased by a big Diplodocus I could hear him snapping his jaws Then he turned and he winked at us and began to lick his huge paws One dinosaur wore dark glasses and tried so hard to ignore us His breed no other surpasses it’s a Doyouthinkhesawrus!
