Mesozoic Flattery

As was requested by Professor Sexton, I have written a sonnet. I don't have a significant other so this goes out to all my friends in Paleontology. Perhaps I will tape a copy to my advisor's office door as well as pick someone to mail it to. On to the sonnet:

Tyrannosaurus rex is the king
Stegosaurus has its four massive spikes
Quetzalcoatylus on giant wing
Permian oceans full of Trilobites.
Velociraptor with its large toe claw
Therizinosaurus huge hands it has
Smilodon has such a powerful maw
And Spinosaurus with a sail tall as
Ankylosaurus with its mighty club
Herrerasaurus oldest dino found
Liopleurodon like a toothy sub
Lambeosaurus makes a funny sound
Each dinosaur and reptile you see
Are special and unique as you to me!

Pronunciation guide and pictures for recognition:

Ankylosaurus

Herrerasaurus

Liopleurodon(pliosaur not dinosaur)

Spinosaurus

Smilodon (yes not a dino or a reptile but still cool)

Trilobite (also not a dino or reptile, more like a giant pill bug in the water)

Therizinosaurus

Not as big as Jurassic Park made them

Quetzalcoatylus (pterosaur not dinosaur)

Lambeosaurus

Stegosaurus (my favorite)

Tyrannosaurus rex

Ket-zal-co-at-ih-lus
Purr-me-un
Try-low-bite
There-ih-zeen-oh-soar-us
Smie (like smile)-low-don
An-kie (like kite)-low-soar-us
Huh-rare-ruh-soar-us
Lie-oh-plur-oh-don
Lamb-bee-oh-soar-us

Hopefully you learned a lot from one little sonnet! On a different note, I was telling my friends about we talked about Pope Benedict puns in class the other day when one of my friends brought up something I had made during a game. The game is called Cards Against Humanity and it's basically like Apples to Apples only much much worse topics. Well, the "green" card we got one round was "What are you giving up for lent?" I played the card "God." So last night when we were talking about the Pope my other friend said that the Pope had given up God for lent this year. Horrible but really funny. Until next post folks, have a fantastic weekend!
