Plodding Along

I am a proud Diplodocus 
My friends all call me Dippy.
I'm never picked for soccer
For my legs are not so nippy.
But when it comes to basketball
I get all the attention,
By scoring goals aplenty with
My inbuilt neck extension.

I'm rather slow and lumbersome;
The clue is in the name,
I plod about in search of food
Then back from whence I came.
And often little dinosaurs
Will jump on for the ride,
Then whoop for joy when they get home
As down my neck they slide!
