Midjourney Image: generated by author
A long time ago in a tropical swamp
Lived violent giants with teeth that could chomp
Among them, a T-Rex with exotic ideas
Of flying with grace in the sky without fear
His dream was huge, but it was all in vain
Such ideas are too big for a tiny brain
He tried flapping arms that were short and stunted
They didn't give him the lift that he wanted
He tried jumping from trees and swishing his tail
He didn't know much, but he knew he had failed
He tripped over rocks and forgot to land
The ground remembered and cancelled his plans
He longed to fly like the Pterosaurs
And was very determined to conquer his flaws
But, with short arms, hefty weight, and not one wing
Blue sky thinking is a terrible thing
His very last effort as the asteroid struck
Flyrannosaurus became seriously unstuck
He finally flew, in the dinos’ last stand
Just as his friends were wiped from the land
Flyrannosaurus, the last of all herds
Left the skies free at last for his cousins, the birds
