Then Out Came a Pterodactyl

Teacher gave homework
  got home from school, struggled with it.;
         Let's just say it involved math!
              Ugh, of all the subjects,
       it had to be math! I hated math!
          Mom and Dad were no help;
                didn't want to help.
             I added and subtracted,
              numbers didn't add up 
               despite gazillion tries. 

        Then I waved out a Pterodactyl 
                 with a magic wand. 
         I wanted feed the damn thing,
    but it couldn't swallow my homework,
                  so it breathed fire
      and incinerated it at one fell swoop, 
     heck almost set the bedroom on fire!
           I went to school the next day.
   "Where is your homework, young man?,"
               asked the irked teacher.

                *prolonged silence*
                  "Your homework?"
            *it's now a staring contest*
          I swear the word "Pterodactyl"
                      must've been 
               at the tip of my tongue
                   when she replied...
           "Ok, you get a failing grade"
               Should I have told her...
     "Pterodactyl torched my homework"?
