If I could have a dinosaur pet
I’d name him Sir Thesaurus
He’d be the smartest dinosaur yet
Ever found in any forest
He could growl out answers easily
To any wordy questions
They’d come to him most breezily
As he offered word suggestions
When my dinosaur was famished
I’d feed him books galore
But if he still was famished
He might eat a whole book store
A dictionary of his desire
He could ask out on a date
This wordy gal he might acquire
Could be his word-ed mate
An intellectual couple, they’d be
Prone to wordy babble
Babbling on in wordy glee
While defeating all at Scrabble
But, alas, I don’t know any breeders
I say this with regret
Of dinosaur-ous readers
Those wordy worthy pets
