Long Dino Poems

Raisin said, “I don’t want to get soaked right through again,

Today we hear Positive Psychology is hot.
To not agree is to be both negative,
and a snot;
too cognitively dissonant

You bite that apple!
Give it a go, put on a show
There is no shame
You said shame is a sham
And clams are happy
Do they hop or skip?
Tripping along the seafloor
Playing hopscotch
Eating numbers like cookies
Chips Ahoy!

His wings were unnoticed at first, as I was concentrating on the 
Immediacy and complexity...

A kangaroo in dungarees hops hopefully 
	To win first prize in the Favs contest hot
		On the heels of an enlightening glow worm

Surely life is no competition but the stage lights
	Reverberates all the promising contenders

Zenith University   

I am a proud graduate  
of Zenith University,  
where the quality stays on  
until the little dot  
shrinks and goes away.  

I attended that fine institution  
with Tom and Jerry,  
Heckl, Jeckl, Mickey, Minnie,  
Da?y, Donald, Daisy,  
Huey, Dewey, Louie,  
Speedy, Wile E., Gumby, Pokey,  
Yogi, Boo Boo, Dino, Chucko,  
Hobo Kelley, Lassie, Bozo,  
Betty, Barney, Bam Bam Rubble, 
Wilma, Pebbles, Fred,  
Casper, Felix, Sheri? John,  
Gentle Ben, and Mr. Ed.     

Astro, Elroy,  
Judy, George, and Jane--  
Eddie Haskell, Wally Cleaver,  
Mom and Dad and Little Beaver.    

Favorite Martian--Flying Nun,  
James Arness--smoking gun, 
Spanky and Alfalfa,  
Larry, Moe, and Curly.

Tests consisted   
of posted patterns.
To see those,  
you had to get up early  
like Jack LaLanne and Buns of Steel, 
Captain Kangaroo.  

Mid-morning classes included  
Monte Hall (quite a deal), 
Bob the Barker (not the builder). 

Allen Ludden passed the words, ...

Everyone has a theory on what killed out all the great big Dinosaurs.
I’m the only one who knows, what happened, that stopped their roars.
It’s just a little common sense, to figure out what it was,...

DINOSAURS

Let me take out my thesaurus
And talk about them stinky dinosaurs

I have my own theory on the Mesozoic Era,
First I'll share my reason on the Continental Drift
Who's to blame for the disconnection of our jagged...

...And these A.I.s could reproduce themselves,
solving all the problems of production,
but they had been made weak, sort, an squishy,
so the dinos needn’t fear rebellion.

For thousands of years the dinosaurs used
their organic A.I. in many ways,
they...

It was our third-grade field trip to the Dinosaur Exhibit
We would be touring all the lands that dinosaurs inhibit

Then she paired me with the meanest...

They said that it could not be done
They warned it would go wrong
Debates were held across the globe
Discussions tough and long

Science won with madcap plans
To change the world forever
They cloned a bunch of dinosaurs
And made...

I would help man evolve toward God’s Dreams for this life
And not strive just for mites (some ascribe to have worth?)

To a sinner who can’t...

"Run! Run along and play, Baby T!"
Mama Rex told her little one, as she pitter-patted from the cave.

Vertiginous in this cloud nine you've created.
The bottom of a salted ocean appears craters of stars wished astray

A division inflicted your paper arrow plane.

I have a confession to make: I've never been a meat beater

His nickname was “Tiny”, and he was very poor.
One day he went stomping into the yummy store
wanting Fruity Pebbles; he didn’t have any more.

Miss Velociraptor knew she was scary,
she’d be rich if for each scream she had a penny.
