Crunch
My Toy Dinosaur
When I was young and playful
I had a playmate named Crunch
My toy dinosaur was ferocious,
And I loved him a whole bunch.
.
He’d eat anything I gave him
He wasn’t the least bit picky
Cookies, apples, or peanut butter -
Not a thing he ate made him sickly.
.
I took him everywhere I went
On trips, to the store or in the yard
He was such an agreeable sort of chap
Erect, he stood just like the Queen’s guard.
.
Crunch fought many a war with all my toys
And always came out on top - with a loud roar
He could trample Simba, Barney, or GI Joe
Without resorting to being a carnivore.
.
Each night, he’d rest beside me
To make sure the room was safe and sound
Keeping close watch, he'd guard my back,
My room, the house, outside and all around.
.
To this day, Crunch is alive and well
And so much more than just a toy to me
For he now guards my son each night and day
Proudly earning a spot on the family tree.
