Then a Flaming Pterodactyl Ate My Homework

Please dear Sir you have tutored me and known me for years as have all other teachers and your peers, we get along like silver knife and fork! these past semester has been full of cheers my school work has never been in arrears, never did I let you down on homework! like before as diligent as ever, I read lessons from cover to cover, and finished all my home work late past night, I walk to school a mile along river, did so today braving wind and shower, in satchel was my homework done alright! halfway down I pass a gothic tower, flower gardens where butterflies hover, not a human soul anywhere in sight! as I was pacing my way to get here, suddenly I heard some flapping quite near, all of the sky went up in flames and bright! like I have been taught in our school before, was on hands and knees, went on all my fours, I heard eerie sound, felt a big birds flight! it was trying to pluck me from the floor, but just managed to snatch my bag and soar, to perch itself on birch tree of great height! ran as fast as I could in abject fear, was scared and thought it may be on my rear, looked back to see but I was still in fright! Now Sir! you may not believe what you hear, perched on top of a tree, could see quite clear, a huge pterodactyl like flaming kite! you may think I may be lying or have gone berserk, but am still shaking with ordeal of lost homework! N/A in John Lawless sponsored ‘Flaming Pterodactyl ate my homework’ contest! 10 syllables with 3 syllables interspersed at the beginning and towards the end written 22/01/2021

Thanks Gershon! yes, a double dactyl on pterodactyl would be a tongue twister!
