If I'D Seen the Hungry Dino, I'D Not Be Dead

If I'd Seen The Hungry Dino, I'd Not Be Dead Stars spits light and belts, grows old and nobody cries Universe slyly winks and eternity sees truth prevails Earth vomits from Hell's pits and everybody dies Justice opens eyes to say, life is crap-lost my scales Unmeaning light its dying shadows scatter all about The half-dead king rose from napping to see graveyard ghouls In distance, queen was partying as fairies shout Jack was drunk working with his imaginary tools And the blind princess yelled, " Hells coming" with a shout" Caveman said, I want very nice juicy dino steak His wife laughed and said, "Then kill one would you please, Last time you came home drunk, saying sorry my mistake" He replied, " Hun, I was sure I'd get one with ease"! Aint that the sorry truth ghost in the corner said. "If I'd seen the hungry dino, I'd not be dead." Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet Nov. 2nd 1973 Note. This poem was created for my nephew Chad, to read Monday in his third grade class.

Yeah, you just don't mess with dinos. I'm guessing that's why God made all them fruit trees. Nice one Robert

Thank you, my good friend. Yep, my school in the 60/70's gave out spankings not M and M. Chad did two tours in Iraq, he is in no way a poet but he is a very smart man now, God bless you...
