Text Box: mastadon.jpg

The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls

Of mastodons, are billiard balls.

 

The sword of Charlemagne the Just

Is ferric oxide, known as rust.

 

The grizzly bear whose potent hug

Was feared by all, is now a rug.

 

Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf,

And I don't feel so well myself.
