      The dinosaur isn’t a metaphor.
      It has big teeth and yellow eyes
      And has a pompom necklace
      But it’s not a metaphor
      It hangs from the middle of the ceiling
      Playing a game of chicken
      It’s a paper mâché dinosaur
      But it’s not a metaphor
      I chipped my tooth
      And he made a new one
      But it’s not a metaphor
      The new one wasn’t green
      He made a dino egg
      For Max to hit
      But it’s not a metaphor
