      Once upon a time, there was a mom
      Her name was Mrs. Pteranodon
      Sitting on her nest she heard scratching and said
      “Oh boy, my eggs are hatching”
      One by one her kids popped free
      Baby Pteranadons, one two three
      “I’ll name you Tiny, Shiny, and Don”
      But Tiny said “Wait… what’s that noise?”

      Through the ferns and trees, orange she did spy
      And as she began to focus she made out an eye
      Fixed right on her and her newborn pups
      With her husband out she knew time was up
      With tiny in her beak and shiny clasped up tight
      As fast as she could she took off in flight
      Dawn called out
      “Oh no! Mom please!!”
      Shiny clipped a branch and fell through the trees
      Mrs. T couldn’t hold back her shouts
      She accidentally spit Tiny out
      By then the T Rex was right upon them
      It had made a quick snack out of dawn
      And as it raced towards her other kin
      She whispered to herself “never again”

      “We’ll bring this beast back to our home
      And raise him like one of our own
      teach him tolerance and love
      He’ll be as docile as a dove
      (She is a time Traveller after all)
      He’ll grow into a T-Rex Jesus
      Or T-Rex Hitler if it please us
      We’ll control his destiny
      Now are you against or are you with me?”

      Mr. T look up and sighed
      A single tear fell from his eye
      And he said “No we’ll raise him right
      And treat him well
      His attitude, well time will tell
      But if we can beat nature with nuture
      Then dinosaur truly is the dominant lifeform.”

      “We’re not technically dinosaurs” said Mrs. T

      Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train)
      Dinosaur train! (Dinosaur train)
      Shes gonna use (what has she got to lose) The dinosaur train!
