Diplodonkosaurus
Listen to Gillian's poem ... read by JH
Diplodonkosaurus
swinging through the trees,
crashing through the branches
annoying all the bees.
Diplodonkosaurus
soaring through the air,
knocking heads off flowers,
petals everywhere.
Diplodonkosaurus
swimming in the sea,
crunching into lobsters,
sharks and fish all flee.
Diplodonkosaurus
scrambling up the rocks,
smashing up the nests
of pterodactyl flocks.
Diplodonkosaurus
pirouettes on ice,
cracking giant icebergs
with each swish and slice.
Diplodonkosaurus
What a splendid show!
Clapping seems to follow
every time you go!
swinging through the trees,
crashing through the branches
annoying all the bees.
Diplodonkosaurus
soaring through the air,
knocking heads off flowers,
petals everywhere.
Diplodonkosaurus
swimming in the sea,
crunching into lobsters,
sharks and fish all flee.
Diplodonkosaurus
scrambling up the rocks,
smashing up the nests
of pterodactyl flocks.
Diplodonkosaurus
pirouettes on ice,
cracking giant icebergs
with each swish and slice.
Diplodonkosaurus
What a splendid show!
Clapping seems to follow
every time you go!
