Question

i met a dragon face to face
by jacky prelutsky.
i met a dragon face to face
the year when i was ten
i took a trip to outer space,
i braved a pirates den,
i wrestled with a wicked troll,
and fought a great white shark
i trailed a rabbit down a hole,
i hunted for a snark.

i stowed aboard a submarine,
i opened magic doors
i travelled in a time machine, and searched for dinosaurs,
i climbed atop a giant’s head
i found a pot of gold
i did all this in books i read
when i was ten years old!
