main idea/theme poetry

Thirty tons and a very large creature,

Big as five elephants, he'd like to meet you.

Eats a thousand pounds of plants most every day,

That's a lot of food, most people say.

Brontosaurus, one of the largest dinosaurs,

That ever lived on the land before.

They were very big and as gentle as can be,

They're the kind of dinosaur you would like to meet.
