NUMBER:7969
AUTHOR:David Law (Peleg Arkwright) Proudfit (1842–1897)
QUOTATION:A man sat on a rock and sought
  Refreshment from his thumb;
A dinotherium wandered by
  And scared him some.
His name was Smith. The kind of rock
  He sat upon was shale.
One feature quite distinguished him—
  He had a tail.
ATTRIBUTION:Prehistoric Smith.
