A Brontosaurus Ate My Wife

         A Brontosaurus Ate My Wife

Bronte was a herbivore
But Bronte ate my wife
He’d tasted nothing better before
In all his grassful life 

They went you see to a party

Where amidst the song and dance
He decided she was tarty
And took a moral stance

The world would best be rid of her
Bronte reasoned to himself
Adding salt and pepper to season her
And some garlic from the shelf 

He swallowed her with just one bite
No need to chew at all
So tender was her flesh that night
And only five foot tall

 
I miss her how I miss her
I miss her more and more
How I would hold and kiss her
Even in the cold bowels of a dinosaur

Well Bronte got indigestion
And wind the following day
It was painful without question
And would not go away 

So he went to a female physician

All sympathy and smiles
And in a most undignified position
He was diagnosed with piles 

My arse is sore my arse is sore
Bronte cried in vain
I’ll stick to being a herbivore
And never eat a woman again 

Well the moral of this sorry tale

The message in my song
Is be yourself and never fail
Because eating women is wrong

I enjoyed this one. What a cute dinosaur! Good humour through out, and a fun ending. 
 
Mia :grin - you know you can delete your messed-up pieces, don't you? There is a delete button at the bottom when you open up your work.

Haha, for the title alone this deserves praise lol. Very funny and light-hearted, I really enjoyed reading this. And the moral of the story is ofcourse an important one, ha! 
Well done, nicely put.

What a sweet poem. The rhyming was very clever. 
 
"They went you see to a party 
Where amidst the song and dance 
He decided she was tarty 
And took a moral stance" 
 
I especially liked the part. 
 
I must ask, though...is this poem an admonishment against oral sex?

Ha! Ha! Glad you like in Merioneth - I feel really warmed to have such a good review from someone who has written such a truly stunning poem as your 'Song for Silence' 
 
But no, it's not 'an admonishment against oral sex', of which I am greatly in favour, though I suppose there is supposed to be a crude hint of it in the last line. 
 
Hope you will read the rest of my stuff - your comments are much valued.
