We were the Dinosaurs
I am, I am, an Alamosaurus, A dinosaur lean and tall,
I eat grass, I eat plants, a herbivore is what I am,
America was my home, seventy million years ago,
I am I am, an Alamosaurus, a sauropod dinosaur.
I am, I am, a Liliensternus, A small theropod,
With my slashing tooth arrays and my speed,
I catch prosauropods and ornithischians,
I am, I am, a Liliensternus, and lived in Germany.
I am, I am, a Nomingia, with a feather fan tale,
I had a beaked jaw, and My diet was omnivorous,
Seventy million years ago, I roamed the Gobi desert,
I am, I am, a Nomingia, a type of oviraptorid theropod.
I am, I am, a Stegosaurus, large and slow,
I eat plant, and have a powerful spiked tale,
To protect myself from predators in America,
I am, I am, a Stegosaurus, a hundred and fifty million years ago.
We are, we are, the dinosaurs, there were millions of us,
We were reptiles, and with wide strong jaws,
For a more than a hundred fifty million years we lived.
We are, we are, the dinosaurs, and we dominated the the earth.
Note: To those interested, the poem is inspired by the song, "I am, I am, a bulldozer" and I am hoping could be sung to the same tune - not sure though. That is the song that kept running in my head while writing this out.
