The Riddle of the Dinosaur
a poem by Bert Leston Taylor (1866-1921) c. 1912
Behold the mighty dinosaur,
contributed by Marco Mendez
Famous in prehistoric lore, Not only for his power and strength But for his intellectual length. You will observe by these remains The creature had two sets of brains- One in his head (the usual place), The other at his spinal base. Thus he could reason 'A Priori' As well as 'A Posteriori.' No problem bothered him a bit He made a head and tail of it. So wise was he, so wise and solemn, Each thought filled just one spinal column. If one brain found the pressure strong It passed a few ideas along. If something slipped his forward mind 'Twas rescued by the one behind And if in error he was caught He had a saving afterthought. As he thought twice before he spoke He had no judgment to revoke. Thus he could think without congestion. Upon both sides of the question. Oh, gaze upon this model beast, Defunct ten million years at least. | ||
