| Famous in prehistoric lore | A |

| The creature had two sets of brains | C |
| The one in his head the usual place | D |

| If one brain found the pressure strong | H |
| It passed a few ideas along | H |
| It something slipped the forward mind | I |
| 'Twas rescued by the one behind | I |
| And if in error he was caught | J |
| He had a saving afterthought | J |
| As he thought twice before he spoke | K |
| He had no judgment to revoke | K |
| For he could think without congestion | L |
| Upon both sides of every question | L |
| O gaze upon this noble beast | M |
| Defunct ten million years at least | M |
