You've no doubt heard of fire-breathing dragons,
and their obsession with hoarding treasure.
But have you ever heard of Huffle-Winks,
magical creatures that promote pleasure.
Invisible, atop fast dragonflies,
they ride the winds of fate mile after mile.
And whenever they encounter a frown,
they attempt to flip it into a smile.
They employ dragonflies to get around,
for, unlike dragons, they haven't learned to fly.
But if you suddenly feel like laughing,
it's a safe bet; a Huffle-Wink's nearby.
In winter, when dragonflies disappear,
they will hitch a ride on tumbling snowflakes.
And if you're lucky enough to catch one,
it's like winning the lottery sweepstakes.
I've never seen one, except in my dreams,
but I know in my heart they are real.
And what makes me so sure that they exist,
is the fantastic way they make me feel.
When you're feeling particularly blue,
remember Huffle-Winks are all around.
And as spirits of jocularity,
they will ensure smiles and laughter abound.
