Lili leapt from her little boat onto the colourful sands and was almost immediately greeted by a Triceratops who stood tall and proud and almost as colourful as the beach itself.
"I, I, I know you!" Lili cried. "At least, I know of you! You're the Triceratops of Rainbow Beach! And this, this, this..."
"This is the land of rainbow sands" began the Triceratops. "Of honey lakes and faerie bands"
"Of caverns deep with dragons' gold" added Lili. |
The Triceratops bowed with a great flourish when it was mentioned in the poem, obviously delighted that Lili knew the words. Then it continued with:
"This is the land where all do rise Each morning to most stormy skies" |
Lili finished the verse with:
"For we all like to sing and dance And whirl about into a trance" |
"But we love dancing best of all" prompted the Triceratops. "When from the skies much rain does fall" answered Lili. "And so we've gathered here you see," continued the Triceratops. "Where everyday we dance with glee" Lili joined in. |
Triumphantly, and with great joy, the two new friends sang out the last two lines together:
"Our mouths agrin, our arms unfurled Our feet upon Raindancer World!" |
