Dinosaur Love

If we think of birds as lovey-dovey,

getting together in a friendly covey,

what about dinosaurs, did they love?

Won't get the answer from up above.

Feathers discovered on dinosaur remains,

making them more birdlike it seems,

roaming what is now the Great Plains.

Did they sit on their feathered nests,

sharing the warm hatching task,

we think only mothers know best?

Did they sing love songs and lullabies,

to each other and to their chicks?

From their skulls they could vocalize.

Did they guard their babies from harm,

from other of their kind so jealous,

to want to destroy their family's charm?

That was 65 million years ago or more.

Perhaps, we'll never know for sure.

But discovery surprises us all the time,

may find dinosaurs knew how to rhyme.
