50 Precious Words, Take 2

A New Pet

Mama says
NO PET DINOSAURS.
A dinosaur’s too big.
WAY too big!
Where would it sleep?
Not inside!
What would it eat?
Tons of food!
And how about cleaning up dinosaur mess?
You’d need a BULLDOZER, Mama says!
I guess she’s right.
But she didn’t say no

To a dragon!

I think I like this better than last night's attempt... it's more cheerful, for one. While most adults would get the subtle humor of "Writer's Block," I don't think a child would. And I don't like the idea of having a child see writing as work (even if many of them do). So this will probably be my submission for "50 Precious Words." Wish me luck!
