A dinosaur, two tons or three,
Heard tell from a mammal quite wee:

Shall burn in a car
That's driven by creatures like me!"

-- Jerold Prothero --

Example 2

A dragonfly was zipping so fast,
Tried to land on a toupee that passed.
It mistook it for hair,
Then it got quite a scare,
When the toupee blew off in a blast!

-- Bernard F. Asuncion --
