A Poem about Dinosaurs for Kids

A Poem about Dinosaurs for Kids, by Paul Perro
I've never seen a real dinosaur. There aren't any of them around any more. They lived in a prehistoric time, I’ll tell you about them in this rhyme. Dinosaurs had tiny brains But they all had ginormous names. Like triceratops, brontosaurus, Velociraptor and stegosaurus. Most dinosaurs liked plants to eat Others preferred the taste of meat. None of them ate chocolate It had not been invented yet.
Dinosaurs never ate sweets The young ones never had yummy treats. They had so many teeth in their jaws Brushing would have taken hours.
The pterodactyl was one that could fly With its big leather wings it could glide through the sky. Another dinosaur was the Iguanodon, It had hands like us, but a spike for a thumb The tyrannosaurus rex Was scary, one suspects. It had lots of big sharp teeth, And a *ROAR* that just defied belief. How I wish I could get A dinosaur to be my pet. I would take him into school one day And everyone would run away. It'll never happen I realize Long ago dinosaurs met their demise. Fossils are all that remain, it seems, You can sometimes see them in museums.
