This poem is about the amazing adventures the poet had — not in

real life but through the books he read. From dragons to pirates,
every page took him somewhere new! Let's find out the exciting
places the poet visits through his books!

I met a dragon face to face

The year when I was ten,
I took a trip to outer space,
I braved a pirate’s 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.

—Jack Prelutsky
