Tiny Little Saurus

Please don't step on me. Please and thank you.

I was as big as chicken with feathers, you see.

But I'd rather be chasing small lizards with glee.

I could run really fast and had laser-sharp eyes

So it didn't much matter my diminutive size.

The bigger the dino the harder they fall,

I hated the sight of a creature so tall.

The people can't tell how few fingers I had,

I can tell you that I had enough to be glad.

Feathers or scales they will never agree,

I was pretty and sleek as I ever could be.

I was tiny is size but greater in status

Because I was the great Compsognathus.
