An unsuspecting dinosaur
For this week’s #limerick challenge the boys requested a limerick about a dinosaur. I was struggling with something cumbersome involving a pedantic dinosaur that noticed every ‘minor flaw’ when my husband suggested a meteor. It’s a less exact rhyme but it lead to a more fun (if slightly grisly) limerick:
There once was an ill-fated dinosaur
Who was struck in the face by a meteor
It plunged in through his eye
Travelled out through his thigh
And splattered his innards across the floor.
As usual the boys illustrated it for me. My six-year-old drew an pre-meteor T-rex then another picture indicating the meteor’s point of entry and exit, complete with blood splatters. My four-year-old drew the third picture of the bloody remains. Sorry if that just put you off your breakfast!
Dinosaur mid-meteor strike with flying blood and bone!
Post-meteor dino-splat!
Ha ha – love it! And ‘slightly’ grisly?! Very! Especially that picture

Love the pictures, great grusome limerick! #minicreations
Brilliant. I love the limerick and the pictures are just amazing! My boys love nothing more than drawing a picture with a bit of blood and guts in it!

Love it, the pictures are fab and the limerick is great, if by little grisly

Grace says – What an awesome idea. A joint mini creation which I have really enjoyed reading. Awesome artwork by the boys.
Lucas says – AWESOME poem – really gory. I’ve made Daddy read to me over and over again whilst I acted it out! Cool drawings too………
