Triceratops

By: Jack Prelutsky

Triceratops had one short horn,

and two as long as spears,

it dwelled near scores of carnosaurs,

and yet it had no fears.

Triceratops was dangerous,

impervious and strong,

the predators that challenged it

did not last very long.

Triceratops fought valiantly,

and vanquished every foe,

so why it ever disappeared,

nobody seems to know.
