T-Rex
As old as the hills, Jurassic in fact.
A star of stage and screen.
The tyrant lizard from the reptile age,
Extinct but no has-been.
I can beat a sprinter, with Olympian thighs.
The largest land carnivore of all time,
With terrible teeth to tear you apart
As you fight to escape your primeval slime.
Mock the length of my arms, the size of my skull,
how long to change direction,
but I’ll break off your limbs and bite off your head
and then we’ll discuss natural selection.
Call us Sue or call us Stan, don’t think that you can mock us
I see you quaking with my binocular vision.
The name is T-Rex and I smell you and your fear
You can’t beat me only using derision.
I will crush your will, make your heart rate soar
As I thunder up, hover over you in the famous stoop.
There is no escape from a mouth agape
So go back to your primordial soup.
And leave the powerful to roam the imagination
And pay the king of the dinosaur age due respects.
Most feared. Most revered. Oppressive and cruel
But none more famous than T-Rex.
