Two Dinosaurs stand face to face
But something is so out of place
A starry night in the sky
But it's a starfish I spy
Oh! that line of cocaine that I chased...

There once was a dinosaur dance,
Which was great for lizard romance.
As T Rex stole the show,
When he jived to rock ‘n’ roll,
Marc Bolan didn’t stand a chance....

Mr. Dino P. Crocetti
Crooned and he drank
Can't vouch for his breath
  ~ But his songs never stank

Say phantasmagoric:
your tongue feels euphoric!

Like some prehistoric,
on feeling dysphoric
over threats meteoric
got an upset pyloric
and downed paregoric.

Were the dino feels real
or is this allegoric?

When you see 'em, you know 'em
but this poem's sophomoric......

A live T-Rex, but should I stand and fight
It’s foul breath and it’s drool made me take flight
I just couldn’t bear
That if I stayed there 
I’d be forevermore a coprolite

ME: Tell me my dear echo
With such garguantan appetite
Is my sister a Dino?
ECHO: No!
ME: How does she spend so much
On wigs and relaxer
ECHO: Ask her
ME: Can I keep up with her excesses?
Can I overcome this pressure?
ECHO: Sure
ME: If only I had a wish
I'll send her to Dreamland
ECHO: And?
And then I'll be happy
when she's so far away...

t-rump
a spoiled childish
mental dino-sore

fostered by the corporates
competitive news channels
divide and conquer

it's 'us against them'
(whomever them are)
consumerism run rampant

what's the point
america is not the best
never was

wake up america
put people first
corporates second

education wise
and health wise etc.
is what sanity is

These are chicken eggs?
My husband stared at me.
“I thought so.”
They look different.
“I got them at the store.”

With that endorsement, I cracked one.
A tiny dancing dino whirled onto the table and stopped at the sugar bowl.
“SUGAR!” she yelled.
I stared at my husband.
“You want to open the next one?”
He left the room, fearful now as there were two women in the kitchen....

There once lived a gambler named Dino
who was terribly fond of vino.
Since he’d drink and play bad,
and lose all that he had,
he was loved at every casino.

But drunk as a skunk, that guy Dino
wreaked havoc one evening in Reno.
Now his vices he’s licked
after being drop-kicked
by a mafia guy named Gino.

   Petal-pushers and hula hoops
     ‘Greasy Kid Stuff’ – smear on the goop
   Baseball card gum that tastes like rubber
     That amazing stuff called ‘flubber’  

   Dino the Dinosaur and the Texaco Man
     Mumblety-peg and Kick the Can
   Sky King and Wyatt Earp
     Slowpokes you loved to slurp 
  
   All that’s gone now, replaced by video games
     ~ They all seem the same

OH, look out
I think she saw us
you know
that sneaky dinosaurus
LOOK OUT…
the one call Rex’ll
chase the little one with speckles
when a Brontosaurus sneezes
it’ll shake all of the ‘treezes” 
OH, beware the clever Raptor
you could be what he is after.
But teacher - I swear
this is all factual
my homework was eaten
by a Pterodactyl.

Call yourself obstructionist
Who blocks a popular bill
A Democrat, I think not,

From West Virginia still.
You, the arbiter of right?
Your constituents starving, 

Coal companies pay your dues
Pharmacies in your pocket,
Stock is the name of your game.

Publicity you're craving
Run for the presidency!
Observe just how far you get.

AUTUMN DINOSAURS FALL--

On a golden stream,
You whisk me
Bounded by my dreams
Awaken me, you wake me
As I walk in the jaws of the prehistoric pet
Of the bronze-aged old 
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Walk on Dino walk
Your footprints are the Grand  Canyon
Where you lay your body are the Great Lakes
Bounded by dreams
Dragon reality
Awaken me roar, roar
Ever so daunting
All died out couldn’t survive the cold
Autumn Dinosaurs Falls
