Practice Your RhythmClankity Clankity Clankity Clank!Ankylosaurus was built like a tank,Its hide was a fortress as sturdy as steel,It tended to be an inedible meal.

It was armored in front, it was armored behind,There wasn’t a thing on its minuscule mind,It waddled about on its four stubby legs,Nibbling on plants with a mouthful of pegs.

Ankylosaurus was best left alone, Its tail was a cudgel of gristle and bone,Clankity Clankity Clankity Clank!Ankylosaurus was built like a tank. By: Jack Prelutsky

Iguanodon, Iguanodon,We’ve sought you everywhere, Both here and yon, Iguanodon,But failed to find you there.

Iguanodon, Iguanodon,You were a gentle kind,But now you’re gone, Iguanodon,And left your bones behind. By: Jack
