Plant Eater Gone Carnivorous

Daniel G. Snethen

Stegosaurus is supposedly vegetarian,

but apparently it is not.

Why else was a thirty-nine-year-old man

found upside-down dead,

reaching for his cellphone,

in the belly of the stegosaurus

outside the Cubic Building

in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Spain?

Obviously, he was eaten head-first

before dropping his cell and reaching for it.

Obviously, stegosaurus is carnivorous.
