If I Had a Dinosaur
If I had a dinosaur I would be insanely happy.
If I had a dinosaur I would be the best me of all.
If I had a dinosaur she’d be named Matilda B. Snappy.
If I had a dinosaur I would feel twelve and a half feet tall.
If I had a purple dinosaur, together we’d be so deliciously sweet.
If I had a dinosaur I’d go to grandpa’s without a fight.
If I had my dinosaur I’d follow every rule, and stay out of the nasty car-infested street.
Matilda B would be company, keeping me from escaping from my window every single night.
If I had a dinosaur you could take all these tiresome toys out of my room.
If I had Matilda B. I’d stop being afraid of the monsters in my closet.
If we housed a dinosaur we’d sleep without electricity, by the light of the moon.
Saving us money, Matilda B. could teach me to fix the broken sink, and leaking faucet.
If I had a dinosaur, I’d be the best child in the city, the state, the world, and the universe.
Matilda would have my back as I’d apologize to many kids for pushing them down and pulling their hair.
If I had a dinosaur, I’d brush my teeth, and give back all the stolen things, even Auntie’s red purse.
If we brought Matilda B. Home to our family, do you honestly think I’d behave any worse.
