 Long Ago Feathers

We associate feathers with

Birds, but feathers really go back

To dinosaurs, a fact not myth.

On evolutionary track

Even T. Rex had feathers fine,

Growing along its head and tail.

It's uncertain if by design

It slowly was replacing scale.

A flying T. Rex, yes indeed,

Would have been quite a sight to see,

But was not able to succeed,

As dinosaurs did cease to be.

T. Rex hatched with feathery stuff,

An adorable ball of fluff!
