Poem
Dragon always needs to be entertained, or there’s trouble brewing, I Say! So we got him an electric train set, for him and his penguins the other day. But naturally, he had to sit in the middle of the track, not to mention his tail! It kept constantly, knocking that train, plumb off its tracks, without fail! And his penguins were way to big, to ride those cars that go clickety clack. Yes, siree’, every time the train started up, another calamity, set him back! Nobody likes Dragon when he’s frustrated, and Grandpa Troll, least of all! So he picked up Dragon, by the scruff of his neck, and that’s not easy, atoll! He said the idea we had was a sound one, but it didn’t fit his age and size. So he plunked him into the old hay wagon and began to take him for a ride! Erelong the trolls had laid a wooden track, to run the wagon on for a furlong. Dragon was having such great fun, that he decided to pull his penguins along. Our neighbor witch made Dragon a fancy harness with which to pull them all. Yep, there was more bling, per square inch, on it, than to count before next fall! Here, it’s Spring with her sun, my poetry friends, giving him energy to burn. And he was so energized, that every kid on the block, got more than one turn. Yep, the parents brought them in their Easter Best, as cameras started to roll. A circular track made it more fun as they all burst into great children’s’ songs! Now Dragon had everyone’s eyes on him… so he was the happiest of them all. Even the Trolls got long rides, you know, those who built the track, you recall? So today we were all winning and swimming in fun, because of Grandpa Troll. My moral is: fancy gadgets, aren't always what we need, when we want to play. A little imagination and moving around can sometimes be better, to save the day. And some times Fun, with no competition can bring friendships closer, your way.
