Do Not Interrupt

There are times, doing something, you think is good, can simply back fire, on you. And I took Dragon to watch a movie of The Grand Canyon, yes, flying thru. Just to be safe, we sat in the back, you know, way up, in the nosebleed, high! And it became such a thrilling ride, such scenery, constantly passing you by. You could almost reach out to touch the views, mouth watering photographic art. But Dragon started to tap his feet, as his hands flew up, to cover his beating heart. I’ve never seen him, so excited, over anything, EVER, in all, of his life, so bold. Now I began to worry, as I noticed his wings began to twitch and want to unfold. I gently put my hand over his, as I gently tried to calm him, with words, to interrupt.. He wouldn’t turn away from the screen, as ‘Do Not Interrupt!’ Did soundly erupt. I recognized that comment, I’d used it a time or two, on him, now on myself, recast. Now, here came my comeuppance, I did realize, for I was getting nowhere, fast! Next, I rubbed his back shoulder muscles gently, to soothe the twitching, that arose. You know, the ones that allow him the power, to take off and fly, yea, you got it, those! Now this was not going to end well, from my point of view, as he shrugged off my touch. At least, a beautiful sunset began slowly falling, near the end of the movie, as such. By this time, I was, totally, trying to shake him out of his mesmerizingly total trance. All we had to do, was last a few more minutes, but now he was beginning, to prance! He was SO impassioned that he wouldn’t let me interrupt. I began to panic, oh, so well. For the life of me! I couldn’t see any way, to break the movies, very, rapturous spell. All I could begin to see; was that this was not going to end so very well, gently put! So I begged him, to not try, to do… what he wanted to do! As I stomped on his foot! In the end, all I did was piss him off, as the soared off, so impassionedly, into the view! Well darn! That hadn’t worked out well! I sighed! As I watched the inevitable, come to! Naturally I was there for him, when he hit the IMAX screen. With a sudden Kersplat! After all, what are families for, but to be there, when we do stupid things, like that! And we all do, something, so strange and crazy… in our illustrious lives, somewhere. Naturally we were banned from the IMAX! And the screen would need extensive repair. A vet came for Dragon, as newspapermen with questions, did show up, Oh Drat! As I talked to the vet! What did I say, to them? Ha! You guessed it! ’Don’t interrupt!’ Needless to say they weren’t happy and the 5 o’clock news was my wall. Kersplat!
