NOTE: This was originally "composed" circa 2007, for my then 3-year-old daughter and a cousin of the same age. It was inspired by a set of cheap, plastic dinosaurs bought on impulse to entertain the children.

Over the years, it has been occasionally revived, by popular demand (or so I claim) at family gatherings. Now, it is my gift to you, dear reader.
