Long, Long Ago Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

A male tyrannosaurus rex
had finished shaving his long legs.
The monster was quite well equipped
until the his concentration slipped.
It spelled the end to saurus sex.

So now you too know why they died
this monster's hairy partner cried,
refused all offers due to grief
and glued a big acacia leaf
between her legs, so as to hide

a target for the youngster males
who'd stand around and tell their tales
then tried to con each saurus maid
into the jungle to get laid.
All males had huge anterior tails.

Now, monsters, as you well might know,
are famous in how big they grow.
Their offspring though is mostly males,
with whom all reproduction fails
their fate must be fellatio.

And thus extinction did proceed,
because for animals to breed
it ain't enough to wear a prick
or what my Jewish friends call shtick,
there has to be a real need.
