* Based on the Night before Christmas-by Clement Moore

## Poem

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a Creature was stirring, except for owls and a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St Nicholas soon will be there! The dudes and dudettes were all snug in their beds, while visions of dinosaurs glowed in their heads. As Denver was relaxing, this cool live dinosaur, he envisioned a Quetzalcoatlus, the world's "known" biggest pterosaur! When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, Denver sprang and ran quick to see what was the matter! Away to the window, he ran like a flash, he moved aside the curtains and saw a Troodon dash! The lights in Los Angeles were all shining like snow, gave the luster of midday to coyotes below. When what Denver saw and he knew what is well, next, there was Santa, reindeer, and a sleigh with a T-rex! With a small dinosaur helper so awesome and wondrous, Morton Fizzback said "Yo, it's a Dromaeosaurus!" Heavier than 2 elephants, Tyrannosaurus, he came, passing by some creatures that Denver knew by name! Past Brachiosaurus, part Pterodactylus, past the loud Parasaurolophus. Past stegosaurus, past Triceratops, and the huge Ankylosaurus! From the big Baryonyx to Deinosuchus I'd recall, Denver saw many ancient reptiles both big and small. The Dromaeosaurus can't really fly, so a huge Quetzalcoatlus took him up to the sky. So up to the housetop, the reindeer they flew with Santa, his reindeer and toy dinosaurs too! And so, Denver he'd paused and he said with a smile "Santa clause is getting helped by a prehistoric reptile!" and in a twinkling quickly, I heard on the roof tiles high on, the pecking and screeching of each Pteranodon. As Santa Clause came quickly and Denver the dinosaur heard the Dromaeosaurus come down with a dinosaur roar! The raptor has feathers from his head to almost his foot, and he'd snarled as if his snout has ashes and soot! A bundle of toys Santa had on his back, he was like a paleontologist opening his pack!

Dromaeosaurus' eyes twinkled, his smile looked merry! His feathers looked ruffles and his head looked quite hairy, he looked like a mixture of a dinosaur and bird! And his eyes were quite awesome and he wasn't absurd! His claws were awesome on his hands and feet so, and the teeth in his jaws were as white as fresh snow! He had a long tail and a scaly old belly, and he laughed as he snorted and his breath was quite smelly! Santa smiled at Denver and said "You should help me out quick before you're back in bed!" He was helpful, that dino, as great as an elf! And Dromaeosaurus laughed in spite of Denver's old self!

A wink of his eye and a shake of his head, soon Denver knew quick he had nothing to dread! Dromaeosaurus screeched happily as he finished Santa's work, and Santa was done and he turned with a jerk! While Santa went up the chimney, Denver the dinosaur helped the Dromaeosaurus get out through the front door! Santa helped the reindeer and he gave a whistle, and off the dinos went like the down of a thistle. Denver heard Santa's words, and the voices of his pals for sure....MERRY CHRISTMAS TO DENVER THE LAST DINOSAUR!
