Brachiosaurus

By: Jack Prelutsky

Brachiosaurus had little to do

but stand with its head in the treetops and chew,

it nibbled the leaves that were tender and green,

it was a perpetual eating machine.

Brachiosaurus was truly immense,

its vacuous mind was uncluttered by sense,

it hadn't the need to be clever and wise,

no beast dared to bother a being its size.

Brachiosaurus was clumsy and slow,

but then, there was nowhere it needed to go,

if Brachiosaurus were living today,

no doubt it would frequently be in the way.
