Watch out! There’s a Thesaurus About!
Diplodocus blunders through the swamp
He’s munching moss and singing to himself
He’s humming cos he doesn’t know the words
Diplodocus is a little thick.
Tyrannosaurus boxes through the trees
Punching the branches biff biff boff!
Grunting and puffing
Tyrannosaurus is a street-wise dude.
But even he admits he’s getting on a bit.
Stegosaurus daydreams in the shallows.
Her armour makes her feel invincible.
She doesn’t have to try.
She lets it all go by.
They’re friends, nodding acquaintances.
But there’s this new kid on the block.
Here comes young Thesaurus!
Trotting through the trees
with his over-confident gait.
“Hello guys!” Diplodocus says “How’s it hangin’?”
“Fine” says Tyrannosaurus
“Great” says Stegosuarus.
