feeding my stegosaurus

my stegosaurus lurks in the bushes
hiding from the neighbors, because he is shy
fearful of their ridicule and prying questions
trusting only me, which makes me feel terrific

I toss celery, tomatoes and radishes his way
he throws them in the air before he gulps them down
the neighbors do not question what I am doing
they are fearful of me, because I see what they cannot

HAHAHAHAAHAAAAA! Okay, I want one! I've had everything from turtles and fish to dogs and cats and never a Stegosaurus. Maybe if I think real hard...one will come? I love your sense of humor!
