Paleongollygee

I don't recall the dinosaur--
I can't remember back  that far.
Such periods, my goodness gracious!
They were Jurassic and Cretaceous.
                                           
And, speaking pterodactily,
Winged reptiles don't appeal to me.
But I must render due respect
To old tyrannosaurus rex.                     
                                                           
Of stegosaur and brontosaurus: 
They were extinct, some years before us.  
Their Mesozoic days are gone;
Now paleontologists dig their bones.
