Although we modern folk agree
That griffins are a fantasy,
Belief in which is patently absurd,
The dinosaurs we call today
The Protoceratopsidae
Were griffinish, if there is such a word.
Might superstitious ancient man,
When mining gold in Kazakhstan,
Have dug a fossil beak up and inferred
The find, combined with humeri
And shards of rib inhumed nearby,
Evinced some preternatural mammal-bird?
