"I hope you are all having a great summer so far," said Stegosaurus. "I had a nice surprise I wasn't expecting, and the summer isn't even half over yet! I have been patiently waiting several years now for Marilyn Maxwell to return from her USO tour with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, and it looks like this year was the year! We even had our picture taken together, a moment I have been waiting millions of years for!"

"Well come to think of it, maybe it was only 44 years, some time not too long ago. It was some time between now, and the last time that big meteor hit .... but it has been a very long time. I was going to bring her some marigolds, but I ate them before she arrived, just as I did before. I eat when I'm anxious, you know," swooned the lovestruck plate lizard.

"I would have taken her to dinner at the Four Seasons Courtyard, but I ate it all on my birthday. Sigh. I was so smitten I plain forgot to ask her how Bob and Bing are doing, and even Jack Benny I haven't seen many of my old friends in so long. Not Dean Martin, or Frank Sinatra either. Being an entertainer sure is busy work, they have no time to visit anymore. It is all for a good cause though so I don't mean to complain, after all, I hear them on the radio and see them on TV ALL the time. I have seen Marilyn Maxwell, though, and it has really helped make this summer a very special one."

"I am pretty sure I met Marilyn Maxwell the other day!" declared Stegosaurus. "I wasn't sure at first, and I wish I had thought to ask her to sing, but I was so surprised and nervous I wasn't myself. She has aged well. Marilyn is stunning for a mammal who is 89 years old!"

"I told her," swooned the love struck dinosaur, 'Golly gee, Miss Maxwell its nice to finally meet you! I'm your biggest fan! I know that's probably obvious because I'm 9 feet tall and 30 feet long, but Oh my gosh....'"

"Then," continued the smitten plate lizard, "She kissed me, and I forgot all about singing, dancing, eating plants, anything else that had been important to me up to that point. I'm so sure its her !! "

"When I told my cousin Lexovissaurus, ( which I couldn't wait to do, since he once thought her extinct, ) I heard him tell his fiancé Loricatosaurus: "Je pense qu'il est fou de courir après les mammifères,", but I don't care! I'm in love, and I'm pretty sure after that kiss Marilyn loves me too! "

J’ai rencontré la plus belle Stégosaures! Elle s’appelle Loricatosaurus et elle est aussi belle quelle est intelligente. Elle est sexé, la plus sexy de toutes celles que j’ai vues. Elle admire beaucoup mes épatantes sexy plaques! Elles pensent qu’ils sont les plus attrayantes qu’elle a jamais vues. Oh ! Et est-ce que j’ai mentionné, elle aime le fromage ! Quelle perfection!

Nous nous sommes rencontrés à l’Opéra. Je vous le dit, ce n’était pas une Opéra Française vraiment, mais c’était Gaetano Donizetti L'elisir d'amore, qui était très approprié. Elle était sur le balcon et a vue mes épatantes sexy plaques de l’autre côté du théâtre. Je sais que c’était l’amour au premier regard. Elle est descendue du balcon pour me parler et pour ce présenté, quand je l’ai vue je suis tombé en amour, immédiatement.

Je me demandais comment elle pourrait être intéressé à moi, avec la sature et condition de vie quelle vivait ; mais quand j’y pense, c’est facilement expliqué par le fait que je suis Français.

Et depuis ce temps nous avons fait tout ensemble. Nous aimons les fougères et conifères avec du fromage (J’essais de lui trouvé les plus grosses), des marches, par la lumière de la lune, près de la Seine. Nous lisons Guillaume de Machaut, Charles Baudelaire,  Arthur Rimbaud, Gustave Flaubert et Victor Hugo; quand nous avons des sentiments amoureux.... nous lisons Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Nous aimons écouter Fréderic Chopin, Gabriel Faure, et Maurice Duruflé. Oh ! Nous avons beaucoup en commun c’est stupéfiant. Elle s’exprime clairement et aisément. J’ai hâte de la présenter à mes cousins!

Stegosaurus went to the flower shop today to get some flowers for Marilyn Maxwell.

" I went to the local flower shop and got some Marigolds for her because they matched her hair, " swooned the love struck dinosaur. " But then, " he lamented," I got hungry before I could give them to her, and ate them. I went back to the flower shop with the intention of getting more Marigolds, but my appetite got the better of me, and I ate all of the flowers in the place. That made the proprietor angry, and he threw me out. "

Stegosaurus sighed.

" I then walked down the sidewalk to the candy shop and bought her chocolates instead. I hope she likes them. I don't think they're very edible. "

Today Stegosaurus watched The Lemon Drop Kid on TV, and has developed a crush on Marilyn Maxwell.
The love - struck dinosaur was heard to exclaim :

" I've never met her before in my entire life, but I do know we have one thing in common ! We're both extinct ! "
