As a kid I had a big imagination
and created a pet with wings
a tiny Pterodactylc bird
the size of a sparrow . . .
Squeaky was my very best friend
I could put him in my pocket
when I did my homework Squeaky sat on my desk
(oh, no one else saw him, I thought)
I fed him yummy bugs I caught
but oh, one night he ate my homework while I slept . . .
the next day the teacher was mad (!!!)
where is your homework Miss (?)
gulping- I whispered the whole truth and nothing else . . .
that my pet Pterodactyly friend
ate all my homework for an nighttime snack (!)
obviously that did not go well ~
so, I took Squeaky out of my pocket
putting him on my school desk
he stood there for a moment looking around bewildered
then, he flapped his wings- shot some flames into the air
and flew around the room squeaking . . . .
while everyone ran out the door _
