Tyrannosaurus Came to Tea

(Inspired by the late Judith Kerr, author of “The Tiger Who Came to Tea”.)

Tyrannosaurus came to tea

Chaos!

Catastrophe!

Bashing down the kitchen door

Cracking tiles on our floor

Mum warned us that there'd be trouble

Living room's a pile of rubble

Tyrannosaurus came to tea

Nightmare!

Calamity!

Smashing every single plate

Leaving our house in a state

Scoffed the fridge then stuffed the freezer

Really quite a greedy geezer

Tyrannosaurus came to tea

Bedlam!

Pure anarchy!

Snarling through his gnashing teeth

Spreading dread, distress and grief

Said his favourite meal was curry

“Seconds” he roared “And please hurry!”

Tyrannosaurus came to tea

Disaster!

Tragedy!

Not a very good idea

Prehistoric monster here

Knives and forks are bent and busted

This guy clearly can't be trusted

Tyrannosaurus came to tea

Police!

Emergency!

Took the roof off when he stretched

Home is now a total wreck

Fortunately he ignored us

The moral...

NEVER feed a tyrannosaurus!
