Iโ€™m an ancient fossil – a dinosaur myself.

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

Dinosaurs! weโ€™ll bless my soul.

Thatโ€™s a difficult one!

The best ones green and plastic

And made for five year olds.


Mostly they grow out of them

Before theyโ€™re seven or eight

Iโ€™d like to show more interest

But Iโ€™ve left it rather late.


Iโ€™m an ancient fossil

A dinosaur myself

Living in the distant past

And practically extinct.


Iโ€™d like to write of aurusis

triceratopy things

But much too old

To learn that stuff

And really not my thing.


I reached for my thesaurus

More my kind of thing

But it really wasnโ€™t too much help

So nothing more to bring.
