'Dance like a diplodocus'

Dance like a diplodocus,
Swaying through the trees;
Fly like a pterodactyl,
Soaring in the breeze.

Roar like a T-rex,
Pouncing on its prey;
Run like a triceratops,
Saying, 'Don't eat me today!'.

The following to be written:

Fossils

O, its bones may be colossal,
But the trouble with a fossil
Is that it doesn't give a clue
As to the creature's actual hue.

Those Pterodactyl things that flew,
Were they red, green or blue?
And that Brontosaurus fellow, .
Did he come in mauve or yellow?

As for the Stegosaurus types,
Maybe they had snazzy stripes?
And was Tyrannosaurus Rex
Perhaps adorned with spots or checks?

The following to be written:

The King of all the Dinosaurs

With taloned feet and razor claws,
Leathery scales, monstrous jaws...
The king of all the dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus rex.

With sabre teeth no one ignores,
It rants and raves and royally roars...
The king of all the dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus rex.

The largest of all the carnivores,
It stomps and chomps on forest floors...
The king of all the dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus rex.

Charges forwards waging wars,
Gouges, gorges, gashes, gores...
The king of all the dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus rex.

With taloned feet and razor claws,
Leathery scales, monstrous jaws,
Sabre teeth no one ignores,
It rants and raves and royally roars...
The king of all the dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus rex.
