BEHOLD THE MIGHTY DINOSAUR

Behold the mighty dinosaur -
Far-famed in pre-historic lore
Not only for his weight 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 both head and tail of it.

So wise was he, so wise and solemn,
Each thought filled just a spinal column.
If one brain find the pressure strong,
He passed a few ideas along;
If something slipped his forward mind,
T'was 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;
For he could think without congestion,
Upon both side of every question.
Oh, gaze upon this model beast,
Defunct ten million years at least!
