Ah…the infamous Limerickus Terribilus…late Jurassic, I believe

Its name is from the Greek words meaning “tyrant” and “lizard” and the Latin word for “king.”

So Mr. T-Rex, why aren’t you still around? Brain damage from crushing animals to death.

Tyrant lizard king,

Is a mighty awesome thing

With a scaly hide, we knew

But one still wouldn’t want to meet one,

Lest it decide to eat one

If one laughed at the feathers it grew.

Wiley has poetic competition.

Hey Ants. You guys are still around. T-Rexes AIN’T. So, let that sink in.

And please don’t give Me that “Dinos evolved into birds,” stuff.

That’s really clever, Mr. T-Rex, except that the second line would scan better with one slight change: “Though I am quite peaceful when fed.” Also, the fourth line should be, “I’ll forfeit all charms” to rhyme perfectly with “but razz on my arms.”

He’s a poet … and don’t know it.

Alrighty then….

The T-Rex had cultural attributes that few of us have ever imagined.

Dung beetles….

Proof of the existence of Burma Shave during the Cretaceous.

A little poetic license, but I take his meaning. Of course, they are all dead. That whole climate change thing did a number on them. Yeah, I heard it was a meteorite, and I can accept it, but the rock did not land on every one of them. It changed the climate with dust and destruction.

Nice predatory poem.

Humbug, the total weight of bedbugs has always been way more.

They’re saying now that the dinosaurs all had feathers…

The poem is better than the art. Huge head, bigger than the body?

My worst nightmare: one of the world’s most fearsome predators who also raps!

You will have to give the giant lizard a break the Thesaurus had yet to evolve….

What a charming little ditty.

… Burma Shave!!!

Can I buy a print of this comic?
