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.
For another take on the same subject, check out this classic by Percy Bysshe Shelley.
