    Morning Margueritem and crew (okay, I know “crew” hangs out on Overboard, but good morning anyway!)

    Doris the Saurus
    Wasn’t carnivorous
    Her taste buds you see
    Weren’t geared for you or me
    What really filled her with glee
    Was the sight of a deciduous tree
    And though she was massive
    She really was quite passive
    She traveled through time
    To a sunny desert clime
    At Broadcast Ranch she landed
    (I hope she isn’t stranded)
    Jets on high there did see
    What they refused to believe
    Will they go to report her
    And be accused of a mental disorder
    Oh what is to become
    Of this leviathan on the run
    Will it all end in sorrow
    You will just have to wait until tomorrow.

    This is where Time Traveling Sandy’s Trainer tells Mr. Am to send Doris the Saurus into the future to get scores of future Super Bowls, for sports Betting.

    Love the poem! Good job.

    I’d be interested in listening in on a conversation between Warbucks and Am.

    A “dinnysower?” Wouldn’t that ol’ singing cowboy had said “dinahshore” instead?

    A “tellyport” is the place where you put your TV in your home entertainment console.

    If Doris the Saurus gets teleported back to Atlantis, the Air Force jet pilots will end up being told what they saw was just a fig newton of their image nation.

    (I saw a comic book where a character told a youngin’ that he was a figment of his imagination. The youngin’ went and told his father and said, “That guy said I was a fig newton of his image nation.”)

    Yes, wndwrthg, that’s one of the best poems I’ve read on these pages. Keep up the good work!
