The fence is off and the night is dark,
Thunder Lizard's free in Jussaric Park.
The humans are quiet, though not asleep--
They're sitting motionless in the jeep.
Facts nervously whispered as water ripples:
"You know dinosaurs have no nipples."

Important data in a certain context,
Yet sadly useless when talking T Rex.
If only they'd studied a little bit more
The physiology of tyrannosaur,
They'd have the knowledge to get away
And maybe avoid becoming prey.

Yet moving (or not) won't help to stop it;
His vision is accurately stereoscopic.

Why stop there, here is a much better picture for primal fear response: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna27426933
