In the days of old, so long ago,
Roamed creatures grand and bold, you know!
There was the mighty Brachiosaur,
Whose neck was long and tall for sure.

The Brontosaurus, with its massive gait,
Stomped through the forests, no fear or hate.
And the Triceratops, with its horned head,
Could protect itself from danger ahead.

Then there was the Theropod,
A meat-eating creature, a true carnivore god.
Its sharp teeth and claws, so fierce and strong,
Could bring down prey in just one throng.

But time marched on, as it always does,
And glaciers came, freezing everything it touched.
These creatures, with all their might and power,
Slowly became extinct, no longer to tower.

Yet their memory lives on, in books and film,
Teaching us about the past, a world so thrill.
So let's remember these creatures of old,
And all their tales of wonder to be told.

As we lumber along, in our modern day,
We'll never forget those creatures that once had sway.
So let's give thanks for their legacy,
And learn from them, for all to see!
