An impressive rack.

PaleoLimerick #10: Prodigious 'Possum




Diprotodon was a marsupial that
Weighed 700 times that of a cat
If they ever met
I would certainly have bet
That the cat would have become very flat.

That waded through Pleistocene muck
Its gigantic feet
Contained little meat
But her rump was worth more than a buck
