Undead Forms

the rhymosaurus went extinct
it just ran out of time
it couldn’t bear to be succinct
enjoyed primordial slime
when they unearthed its hollow bones
some said it was a bird
and other experts of the stones
said don’t you be absurd
it strikes me that the ancient beast
just might have been forlorn
and I suspect, though its deceased
it liked to tout its horn
