A Child's Dinosaur

At the zoo, I was walking one day when my young son had wandered away. I glanced back; he came running to me: "Mom, a dinosaur. Come look and see!" I looked to the left and the right. No dinosaur, of course, was in sight. Whatever could my child mean? What animal could he have seen? Past a crocodile, I and my son went running. Could that be the one? Its scales had a similar look to one in his dinosaur book. "Is it that one?" I asked with a smile. "Is your dinosaur that crocodile?" "It's THERE!" he cried. I had to laugh. What he'd seen was a long-necked giraffe. June 28, 2019 For Dinosaur(S) - For Children Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier Based on true story of my sister and her son Jon-Jon
