Like a Kid
My nephew said I’m like a kid,
So it must be true.
It’s better than him calling me old.
That’s hullabaloo!

I chased him with a dinosaur.
Indoraptor roar!
He laughed and ran and chased me, too,
Fellow carnivore!

We learned about the beelzebufo,
A large, prehistoric frog.
It could eat small dinos
And was the size of a small dog.

He notices that I’m not tall,
Says he’ll be taller than me “soon,”
And with the way his feet grow,
I’ll be surpassed next afternoon.

We read a series of books
With Creepy in the title.
He laughed aloud and was unperturbed
By the glowing underwear recital!

I am older than his dad,
Which he already knows.
“Are you a kid or an adult?”
Technically an adult, I suppose.

Oh, my nephew, he makes me laugh.
To hear his laughter is a joy.
His imagination knows no limits,
And now there are monsters to destroy!
