the little man was all alone
without a friend, without a phone
he had a hamster when he was young
and a song he never sung
at the break of dawn
an egg appeared on the lawn
of the courthouse behind the barber shop
where you could hear the leaves drop
the egg was rather large
out of it a dinosaur charged
mrs morris of the womens auxiliary
offered the creature a succulent strawberry
little dora gave it a hug
and madame zara swept it under the rug
most folks went about their busness
and did not question the dinosaur’s isness
it became a game
to give the dinosaur a name
some opted for colossus, others for hank
it drank lemonade all day in front of the bank
the hamster became a man
who worked upon a lifelong tan
to become vice president of marketing it had a notion
but never created a successful promotion
when the sun went down
the little man left town
nobody noticed
on the river of life he floatest
