Tyrannosaurus Rex's Mind-Boggling Reality

This soliloquy celebrates the recent discovery that T. rex had baboon-like numbers of brain neurons, allowing it to build tools, solve problems and live up to 40 years - enough time to create a culture! The reality of this discovery is much more terrifying than any movie could portray.

Oh, what a wondrous creature is the T. rex! A beast of myth and legend, we thought it had no brain, But now 'tis been revealed that its mind was not in vain. It had baboon-like neurons, which meant it could think deep; It could solve problems and build tools with its brain so steep. Its life span was long enough to develop a culture too; This reality was more terrifying than the movies ever knew!
