What Really Happened in the Cretaceous

(It only took 7+ years! The revised poem follows the rougher draft.)

Posted 01-06-2002 at the Poetry Free-For-All:


What Really Happened in the Cretaceous

Rompity-Stompity
Rex, the tyrannosaur,
wrote with unmetrical
feet in his work.

Doubledactylicus,
formalist saurian,
published his treatise and
then went berserk.

I would probably amend this thusly:


What Really Happened in the Cretaceous

Fondle-a-Rondelet
Rex, the tyrannosaur,
wrote with unmetrical
feet in his work.

Doubledactylicus,
formalist saurian,
read Rex: Collected and
then went berserk.

The original was dedicated to Teela, a poster at the Poetry Free-For-All, for the inspiration.
