I will surely find The strongest fossil there is Yes, it will be mine Yet another day With nothing I'd rather do Than dig up old rocks A mark in the sand Shows me right where you're sleeping Discovery, boom! I wonder what game Those dinosaurs were playing On rainy Sundays Dinosaur fossils Old bones aged to perfection Power sleeps inside Dinosaur haiku Trade fossils, get a poem Who decided that? Fossilization Bones slowly turn into stone At least both words rhyme If I were buried For many millions of years I'd be pretty mad Cavemen found fossils Cave-paleontology Inexact science As I fight battles I must thank my vivosaurs When they take damage Without my sonar I would have to dig blindly How do moles find things? Teeth my only sword Armored plates my only shield I guess they will do Eventually Dinosaurs turned into birds Who saw that coming? We were once alone Mammals crashed all our parties Man, I hate mammals Dinosaur party! But there's a comet coming It's getting cold now... What's bigger than us? Extinction-level event I stand corrected Greedily I dig My pickax can cut through rock Or feet if I slip Vivosaur Island Shaped like a dinosaur skull Of course there's fossils! Clean away the rock Hammer, drill, and blow off dust Satisfying, no? What's the deal with Rex? Is he person, dog, or both? Is he just ugly? Deep below the earth The dinosaurs lie sleeping I'm their alarm clock When dinosaurs lived They didn't have fiery breath No wonder they died Perso's really big No, it's much bigger than that No, even bigger... With fossil cleaning Cleanliness is next to...um... Let's say...strongliness? If I dig too far Will I wind up somewhere else? Another country? Ferocious battle! I strike, you strike, and I strike... Then wait for my turn Buried far below... Are bones of ancient monsters Will they eat us all? In ancient times past What was on their sandwiches? Was it dino-naise? If your bones survive For all these long centuries That's good nutrition I like cleaning rocks It's satisfying to drill And hitting is fun! They're not always bones Sometimes fossils are footprints Sheesh. How lame is that? Bones turn into stone Bones are stones of the body My mind is now blown Dinosaurs were dumb Their brains were really tiny The size of walnuts! Fossilized remains Bury bones for long enough Minerals seep in Dinosaurs were cool They were big and reptilian Like dragons, but real Apatosaurus Anti-apatosaurus Annihilation Dig, dig, all day long What new fossils will I find? Ugh. Dropping fossil I am an island There are fossils within me They're just not stone yet Tyrannosaurus Teeth that measured twelve inches A tooth that's a foot Stegosaurus tails Man, those are some nasty spikes I'll cover my face Fossilized mammals Vivosaurs aren't dinosaurs Some were just revived Robot dinosaurs Could things be any cooler? Only with pirates Triceratops skull That head is seven feet tall Basketball player? Ankylosaurus Did their tails go out clubbing? Heh. That was a pun What if dinosaurs Roamed the earth like long ago? Would they eat our pets? The sun is hidden An external chill brings us Frozen extinction Men, the time is now! Let's throw caution to the wind And claim victory！ Does Mars have fossils? Does Mars have karaoke? Does Mars have Martians? I wanna go home Making pizza is tough work But I knead the dough! Go on double dates Only talk to your friend's date And see what happens! This is paradise Looking for hidden fossils And finding money! Don't munch on fossils Fruits and veggies taste better And won't break your teeth No bones about it Excavation is my life I really dig it I used to like you Until you got that hairdo Hair is important I'm not going bald I'm just growing a new head Over the old one! Oh, give me a home Where spinosauruses roam But I'll need a fence Are you serious? Pizza with asparagus? What next? Small pinecones? It is now the time When bones are resurrected Into dinosaurs! This fossil is proof Of a creature that wandered The earth long ago Dig and dig some more Until you find a femur For your mantelpiece The stone in my hands Speaks to me in ancient rhymes Too bad they're in French I used to sleepwalk But now I sleep-excavate My wife calls me Doug You want me to what? Why should I comb the desert? It doesn't have hair! It's a miracle! Dusty bones to meaty flesh A resurrection! Hey, look what I found! A dinosaur skeleton! Or is that Grandpa? Asteroid impact Killed off all the dinosaurs Except Ted and Steve Something calls to me... Could that be eternity? I am late again! What are those claws for? Do you long to hold something? Or just tear it up? Bones in the morning Bones at noon and bones at night Bones are for digging An egg breaks open Look! A face and claw appear! How'd you get in there? Always at your side To back you up in battle Teammates are the best T-Rex is quite large In my dreams I see myself Surpassing this beast Uh-oh, that won't work! Better luck next time, my friend! Practice makes perfect Digging not working? Dig, dig, dig, and dig some more Dig for more fossils You're the one for me My love for you runs bone deep That's what I call love Forests, volcanos, Desert sands, and ocean deeps Leave no place undug The ice age was lame! It just made everything cold And boring to boot! First, to be eaten Then, to become a fossil There are better fates Inhuman, you say? Well, what else did you expect? I'm a dinosaur! Mere fossils to some These rocks are really vessels For unfulfilled dreams Ancient mysteries Secrets locked inside these rocks Shattered by my drill What do fossils hold If you break them wide open? Oh, the excitement! He must've been tough A rip-roaring dino king! But now he's just bones Back in my hometown There's a fossilized version Of my younger self If I dig and dig I might just find a fossil With my name on it I've gotten so old Most people say I look like A living fossil Immortality Is pretty uneventful When you're a fossil How did it happen? What made the thunder lizards Up and go extinct? Will human beings Follow in their huge footsteps And go extinct too? Maybe it's our fate Someday we might go extinct Time marches on, though Let me get this straight The world crawled with dinosaurs And now they're all gone? Found a rare fossil Hammered with too much gusto Oops, now it's worthless If we go extinct Will there be people fossils All over the place? Eons down the road If we're all human fossils Who will dig us up? THAT's a weird fossil! Two dinos locked in struggle Reptile argument? What's on the menu? Deep-fried trilobyte fossils Taste sorta like shrimp Tyrannosaurus No one's safe when he's hungry Friends make great fast food Poor Stegosaurus He didn't have many friends Still, he looks happy Stuck here in the dirt Buried under cold, hard stone Get me outta here! Meteors rained down One hit me in the tummy Need new tummy now In a perfect world Dinosaurs would rule the land Reptile paradise! I WAS a loser But now that I'm a fossil Everyone wants me! What, another one? Why do I keep digging up Stegosaurus bones? The sun's blinding rays And the cries of far-off birds Morning wake-up call! There's another one! I've found enough arm fossils To make an armoire Tar pits drag me down I will soon be extinct too And lectures given I like dinosaurs Unless they chew on my face Yeah, then not so much Herbivore attack! Where'd my baby carrots go? Dang brontosaurus... Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp CHOMPCHOMP(eek!)OM NOM NOM NOM STOMP STOMP! Stomp stomp stomp… Hunt hunt grunt grunt, hrm? CHOMPCHOMP(eek!)OWOWOWOW! Rest in peace, caveman Raptors, sauropods, Theropods, and pterosaurs Don't turn around--run! Snuck up on a friend RARRRR! I am a dinosaur! Didn't believe me Mine and mine alone The world's strongest dinosaur You can't hide from me Digging for dinos What a wonderful hobby I sure love digging I dig without end I dig as fast as I can No bones will escape Did dinos play games? Did they believe in fair play? Or did might make right? If dinos were weak They got eaten. Chomp chomp chomp Big teeth ruled the day Now that I've found you I will never let you go We are partners now The future is ours How can I make you believe? Maybe with my teeth? Spiky legs are cool Nothing tops super-strong spikes I want spiky legs! Can't stand anymore Gravity makes my legs hurt The ground calls to me Just three days ago I ran into a mountain Oh, my aching head What does poetry Have to do with dinosaurs? I will never tell Poem missing words No need articles, pronouns Good caveman haiku Be it now or then Survival out in the wild Is never easy When there's a quarrel The only way to solve it? By Fossil Battle! There's no way on earth That I would ever desire Mammoth-poop fossils Your only duty Is to dig and dig and dig Then dig a bit more I am fierce, I know But don't go worrying now I wouldn't eat you Tricera hands, yo No more legs please, I beg you Triceras need hands! Don't give up your goal Just keep on digging and well... Stay positive, man Fossils in my soup Make it taste rather dusty But provide texture My brother and I Like to talk about fossils And punch each other I'm quite positive There must be fossil parties They must surely rock! I think that snail shells And rigid, coily seashells Might be fossils too This fossil may be One of my greatest treasures Or just a knickknack Where, oh, where are you? You run from me constantly Yet you never move I have one request Can I be reborn next time As a dinosaur? Time travel, my friends! Get yourself a new passport It's time to trip out! Oh, ocean breezes! Could you be cool, ancient breath From a long-gone fish? Dig in my body I think you've finally found My fossilized heart A message sent forth With another fossil trade Isn't this awesome? Design a fossil Color it with nice sparkles And say "glamorous!" Feelings are special Unlike physical objects They won't be fossils Everything was big Back when dinos where alive Even cucumbers I have a good plan: Instead of nations warring They should Fossil Fight Yes! Dinosaurs, man! Wouldn't it be the greatest To stomp on your food? When you're a fossil You're the same as everyone Just another rock Do me a favor Chain up Rex before you leave And leave him some food What I have right here Is a rare, first-class fossil It's red, by the way Digging through the earth I might find someone's fossil Somewhere in China A meteor came And wrecked all our dino fun End of an era Sure, long life is great Ten million years of nothing Would bore anyone Who was it that said I'd find fossils around here? Cause there aren't any I remember her Our love's memory, frozen As if in amber I think I'm in love Not for your good looks, baby I love your haiku! Darn it, not again! Stepped on another fossil! Must be more careful If dinos could talk They'd tell cool stories, I bet Dino tales! Get it? Families that play together, stay together Old dino proverb Dug in my freezer And found a fossilized fish Dinner, anyone? This petrified ham In the depths of my freezer Makes a good fossil Ahh, upright freezer You're like my own personal Excavation site Summer vacation! Three solid months of sun, fun, And of course, FOSSILS! Oh, fossil haiku In what ways have I loved thee? Let me count the ways The Fighter's maxim: A hammer raised in anger Shall never strike true I hammered and blew Just like they said, but all I Found were these old bones It's hard with haiku To tell a longer story It's just, "Yay, dinos!" I know Vivian Is all evil and whatnot But bad can be good I'll bet that if Rex Was somehow turned into stone He would eat fossils That nose of Snivels's Can smell the garlic pizza On far-off planets How much tea would a T-Rex wreck, if a T-Rex Could wreck tea? Hm? Hm? Velociraptor I know they LOOK all tough, but... Their name means "fast bird" Meteor impact How big an event was it? Extinction-level Revive dinosaurs? After they've been fossilized? What, are you crazy? If bone becomes stone Why can't the stone become flesh? Breaking news: it can! Hey, what would happen... If I revived just plain rocks? It is not pretty A day at the beach Father digs for new treasures I collect seashells Tricera footprints If filled with fresh cookie dough Would make huge cookies I'm waiting here, sweets I long to feel your caress Dino hugs I crave It's barbecue time! For today only, Mother... I'm a carnivore People do exist Who never seem to throw out Junky old fossils There's a lone Fighter Out there somewhere in the cold Digging silently My precious fossil Gets not the usual drill Only the hammer! I have the money I have the motivation Yes, it will be mine! Under the tough skin Is a soft, squishy matter Is it edible? Dinos playing chess Likely can't grab the pieces With their chunky hands Shopping for a couch The T-Rex asked only for Sofas made of steak In a canyon, man! I found a T-Rex fossil! Yodel-ay-hee-hoo! Dino on dino Which reptile will triumph? The one with big teeth Black, steaming tar pits Like a hot tub for dinos That they never leave Each delicate piece Every fine, bony fragment Nets me a new friend To be fossilized Without wearing my makeup I must look awful! A new day dawning Pick up your tools and head out Fossil-digging time! I had this weird dream I was eating mammoth steaks... They were so tasty Many moons ago The earth's lands were connected Pangea-rific! The earth is just a 4.6 billion-year-old Gigantic fossil These steps I'm taking... How long will my footprints last After I've passed on? Do wingless dinos Envy their airborne brethren Like pterodactyls? Dinosaurs came in All types of shapes and sizes Too many to count! Don't you just hate that? I'm talking about breaking A fossil, of course! Archaeopteryx I wonder if his friends called Him "Archie" for short? Back in dino days The poor mammals could only Go for walks at night Hey! Somebody, quick! I'm trapped in the Support Zone And I can't get out! Ptera, hear my plea! Snatch me up with your claws and Carry me away! Eat or get eaten That was the law of the land Dino life was tough Do you think maybe Dinosaurs fell in love and Went on dino dates?
