And they plan an adventure, Gran and O.P. Rex and Rus the T'-saurus
by alana

And O.P Rex, he said in a deep voice,” have you been fed up ?”
“Gran, say have you fed them your famous rosemary and apple flan?”

Rus smacked his lips and rubbed his tummy, with a “yummy -
yum yum yummy , I am so very hungry, have you a bite or few for me ?”

And O.P. Rex, not knowing a thing about Rus said, “Say hey you-
You not planning to bite me up are you? “, and he laughed-

a deep rumble from his belly up, while Rus blushed deeper red
so I said, “O.P. , Rus is a vegellyterian, and O.P shook his wise head

in exasperation, Gran rushed upstairs to fetch a salad or two
Rex tossed some berries, with penne, smileys , basil sauce, a few


merries with scotch, BBQ sauce, herbs and potions, strange pink lotions
into a test tube that rattledits glass skin to spew strange shadows

I thought I saw earthworms in spaghetti sauce, I thought I saw Santa Claus
I thought I saw strange sleeves ending in sharp monster claws


Gran came down with a tray of food, I ate a carrot and some beans
it was the strangest of meals, given the time of the day and the means

but the blueberry pasta that Rex cooked up , was the best I should say
where the bluest of berries laughed with the penne in a tomato toss


a la Gordon Ramsay, I thought I saw a berry jiggle and jive my way
Rus said something, about it being a strange and tiring day, Rex nodded

Gran rolled into an apple pie, I was falling asleep under a lemon yellow sky
a soft red finger with claw of ivory shell, pulled a rug on me, I tried to fly

and that was the last thing I saw, but I smelled the herbs in hot wine
as they went on to mark on maps, I heard their rumble, I felt a paw,

smooth my brow. The food went cold, the ice did thaw, the flan
was forgotten, for hurrah , hot air balloons glided into the plan

and somewhere something just snapped shut
while I saw me singing ” see you later, alligator”, but

need I repeat as to how weird dreams are, are gators designed to be cute
and how can people skateboard upwards , only to tumble from chutes?
