Poem
I’ve gone through several dragons; 
each one had to leave.
They’d discovered gifts and talents, 
to make their lives complete.

Musicians, sculptors, chefs and more; 
have trained within my home.
Once offered the chance to go, “Pro”; 
they went right out the door.

And so, I searched for a dragon; 
it took me quite awhile.
But, it was so important that, 
I find the right one, with style.

When I finally found one, 
and brought him to my home;
it wasn’t long till I found out; 
he loved ice cream cones.

Eventually he worked up; 
to fifteen cones, a day.
It was getting quite expensive; 
he even swiped one from our pup!

“That was rude”, I told him; 
“You had one of your own”.
So much ice cream, he did eat, 
he was no longer slim.

If he began eating banana splits; 
he’d weigh a million pounds;
so we told him, to get any, 
he’d have to pay ten cents an ounce.

His ice cream face just melted, 
into the biggest pout;
elephant tears welled up 
and he acted like he’d been pelted.

The next day, he left the house, 
we thought he’d gone for good.
Mid-day he came flying in,
 he was wearing a new blouse.

Said he’d gotten a new part-time job, 
driving an ice cream truck;
it was clear that dragon, 
would probably eat up gobs.

At least he’d planned to earn it; 
so we would not go broke.
The next day he arrived in his own truck;
in one day, a driver’s license, he’d gotten.

Three days later he came home, 
and admitted he’d been fired.
He owed the truck’s company; 
for a load of missing ice cream cones!

Crying big old elephant tears, he handed us a bill.
Six thousand dollars worth of ice cream, he ate;
he couldn’t pay them off, he feared.

We agreed to pay them, for him but, 
he’d have to work it off.
And he’d have to give up ice cream cones; 
his face was, oh so grim.

Though it took a miracle, 
he managed to succeed; 
but, giving up his ice cream cones, 
came not without a price.  
Now, he’s hooked on pickles!
