Dinosaur Skeleton

Beloved Brethren,
we have before us an example of incorrect proportions.
Behold! the dinosaur's skeleton looms above-
 
Dear Friends,
on the left we see the tail trailing into one infinity,
on the right, the neck juts into another-
 
Esteemed Comrades,
in between, four legs that finally mired in the slime
beneath this hillock of a trunk-
 
Gentle Citizens,
nature does not err, but it loves its little joke:
please note the laughably small head-
 
Ladies, Gentlemen
a head size does not have room for foresight,
and this is why it owner is extinct-
 
Honored Dignitaries,
a mind too small, an appetite too large,
