Poem of the Day

8 Comments

Come and see the dinosaurs

dancing in the street,

with bows upon their shiny claws

and glitter on their feet.

A little liposuction,

lippy here and there,

with plaited tails and painted toes

and roses in their hair.

Dripping with perfumery

and skipping to and fro,

a dozen dainty dinosaurs

putting on a show.

They’ve visited the beauty shop –

a rare and lovely treat –

and now they’re happy dinosaurs,

dancing in the street!

This is a joyful, quirky poem ideal for young readers, but enjoyed by this old reader, too. Well done, Bill !

Thanks, Margaret, Anne, and Teena. Being a dinosaur myself gives me an advantage when writing about them.
