Dinosaur shopping

Did you ever see a dinosaur walking through your town?
Did you see one go to BHS to buy a dressing gown?
Or maybe in the checkout queue at Tesco's with a trolley
Piled up with pizzas, crisps and jam, potatoes and a cauli?
I don't suppose you ever did. The dinosaur's no fool.
They don’t like crowds of noisy kids; they shop while you're at school.
