Poem
Dragon really shouldn’t have borrowed the penguins, away from the Zoo. Now he was their baby sitter at the lake, from morning till night, so true. Not to mention a catasaurus was now stalking, his delightful little friends. The Trolls volunteered their time, to help defend those cute ones, to the end. He wanted to take them everywhere, wherever he could and had ever been. Though most of those we’d been kicked out of… Well, here we go again. First we passed our illustrious church, where the organ and voices rang on. But as the penguins began to sing, it came out a screech, so I hurried them along. Next we went to the local Ice cream Stand, where the Trolls devoured icy delights. Brain freezes naturally ensued, so the penguins sat on their heads, what a sight! The crowd applauded such an ingenious save, now penguin hats, are all the rage. The Mayor gave them animal service vests, so in the news, he wouldn’t be upstaged. This allowed them into the Mall, where lit fountains flow, a fascinating place, indeed! Dragon became their slide, as the kids marveled at their fancy whoop-de-do deeds. Next dragon herded them to a western shop, for sunbonnets, cowboy hats, and duds. The mayor up for re-election, again, came along, and also got completely, gussied up. Next was a candy store, where Dragon bought them a few, Yep, they’re like all kids. A sugar rush ensued. Dragon reeled them in, before: who knew what, heaven forbid! He even had to get them, out of the skylights, not easy for a bird that doesn’t fly… But by directing them to the ice ring… he let them wear off their lengthy sugar high. At the Mall Food Court, was sushi, and the children got to feed, the penguins they knew. Naturally, the further they went, the more crowds ensued, until they bid the mall adieu. But first they went to the bookstore, as yes, penguins like to read and be read to, too. They’re now planning a penguin adventure book, ‘All the Things a Penguin Can Do’. Then leaving the crowds, they went home on Dragon’s back, a lakeside nap, overdue. Now I ask you very simply, if the penguins were yours to baby sit, so true… Where, oh where, would you go… with such a precious little cargo, and you?
