A dinosaur went walking, for to see what he could munch

Perhaps a small triceratops would make a tasty lunch?

Or what about a geyser-steamed pterodactyl pie?

(But they were very hard to catch because they flew so high.)

How he wished that he could swim – he’d jump into the lake,

And catch an ichthyosaurus, to eat with hot mudcake,

But he was scared of water and his fishing skills were poor,

And sweet sea creatures almost never came up on the shore .

He thought of caveman casserole, and mousse of giant spider,

And Neolithic fries washed down with venus fly trap cider,

A steamy soup of saurians – iguana fricassee?

Or maybe sauté therapods, with mezzolithic tea.

A peleotic pasta, stuffed with alligator eggs?

Or sweet Jurassic jelly, all afloat with lizard’s legs?

Or trilobites in aspic, yum! A dinosaur’s delight!

Nothing beats a great big bag of salted trilobite!

Then his mind came back to Earth – what a funny dream!

Stegosaurus steaks char-grilled on hot volcanic steam?

What had he been thinking? He had never tasted meat…

He was vegetarian and would lunch on leaves and peat!
