The Magical Blue Ball

Why is today so special? Well pay attention while I bend your ear EVERY day is special, my friends To be alive on this magical blue ball we call Earth Why do I call it “magical”? Just look around and observe the beauty That fills us with awe every single day The majesty of the mountains The unending blue sky above The constant flow of the rivers and streams Yes! MAGICAL is the only possible word To describe the absolute wonders We witness day in and day out It is so overwhelming that us mere mortals Can only marvel at the vastness of the universe Or the beauty of a butterfly So when everyday matters become too much to bear Look around and marvel at what you see And be thankful you're apart of the magic The magic of life itself! © Jack Ellison 2014

Magical is the word for it. Dragons, Trolls, dancing penguins... Now that is magical! The Trolls tried with magic to be one with the butterflies! The wings were great! I'd say it was sad their weight kept them from getting of the ground... But we're lucky actually. After all, Nobody wants a troll landing on them or their beautifully, manicured gardens!And watching Trolls as ninjas in the park... with jingling baubles attached to their outfits... Now that IS so cute! AWWW... isn't that special!

Or look at Dragon trying to do the waltz. He can cut quite the rug with his penguins. Unfortunately he was knocking every one down with that tail until I told him he could hold on to it... it show it off to it's best advantage. Me myself, I love to watch the little penguins line dance best... in their cowbay clothes... They're so cute! They seem to be made for line dancing! LOL... Now that's magic!
