Carolyn Devonshire Poet Rhyme

Buffet of Prey

Spinning through time, I landed in the Jurassic Age,
when the raptor and brontosaurus reigned.
With none of these dinosaurs held in a cage,
my composure I still maintained.

I attributed this “dream” to spicy food consumed
just an hour before I lay down to sleep.
How wrong I was, for the action resumed;
when I woke, through my bedroom they did creep.

A kindly pterodactyl winged me away,
but I didn’t know I’d be on his buffet!
