This Gem of Mine

A dinosaur, 
said he saw, 
the seashore, 
but he wasn't sure 
what the sea was for.
A butterfly, 
said he saw the sky, 
but he didn't know why, 
the sky was so high.
A humble turtle,
fumbled over a hurdle,
but being a turtle,
it didn't hurt at all.
A fat cat sat on a mat 
after eating a rat.
I picked up a pen,
at ten past ten,
and robbed you of time
with this gem of mine.
