It is easy to make quite an error!
This poem will make it much clearer:
Iguanodons do belong,
Stegosaurus tag along,
They are part of the Jurassic era.

However other dinosaurs are not.
Example: tyrannosauruses are mistaken a lot.
Although they appear in film shots,
Gallimimus and triceratops,
Each belongs in the Cretaceous time slot.

Other distinguishing Jurassic features,
From what palaeontology can teach us:
Ruled by herbivores.
Eating plants of course;
Pleased these magnificent creatures.

The habitats these dinosaurs prefer:
Include forests of tall conifers.
Large plains of ferns,
Exist in their concerns,
So they must be plant connoisseurs.
This is my entry to :iconpoetry-book:'s competition Scratch That: Round four. The theme was Jurassic and the style was acrostic limerick and that was pretty tough let me tell you. I like to think that I have done a good job with it... but the judging will tell!

Please tell me in the comments what you think! =]

As always, I will very happily accept critique.

Nicely done. I can never keep the dinosaurs straight as to who came when!
