Poem Title:
Poem
Father’s Day was coming and Dragon was already, in full mode. Hubby was his Hero, a true Papa, like in every story ever told. Everyone was talking about what’s, to be, their Papa’s Day gifts. Yep, TV salesmanship had done, on Dragon, a great big, mighty trip. It had to be a secret, so Grandpa Troll would be the one to supervise. Hubby’s sacred workshop, found itself, in the making of the prize. It had to be both: useful, yet, perfect in our little Dragon’s eyes, so… He picked a brand new, blinged out toolbox, his hands would supply. Yep, naturally, mayhem ensued, as he ran out of kiddie glue, too soon! Grandpa Troll turned away, only a moment; it’s true, as Dragon, well… He picked up a ‘HUGE BUCKET’ of illustriously strong, Gorilla Glue! He’d blinged out the handle, not thinking, of it’s need to be held, on to. When he picked it up, the bobbles came unglued so he proceeded to redo! Yes, using the Gorilla Glue! He slathered it greatly, with a big paintbrush. It dripped all over, till the open, folding compartments, were solidly stuck. But they’d never have closed, anyway, with so much bling! Good Luck! Dripping glue, from the brush, stuck hammers and all, to the new bench top. Including Grandpa Troll, when he tried to free them, by chiseling them up. Grandpa Troll, made a mistake, by reading the can, by holding it to his face. Dragon just then, turned around, knocking the contents, all over the place! Surely, you knew that was coming! Can’t tell me! You surely didn’t know! Yes, as Grandpapa Troll fell over backwards, he got stuck now, to the floor! The can came backward, knocking him on the head and stuck, to his forehead. He was soundly knocked out, as Dragon knew his goose, was definitely dead. Dragon got the idea to melt the glue, by adding a little of his fire, to the tools. Gee, it didn’t melt! Who would have ever known? I wouldn’t have had a clue! But now, there were great big gobs of flaming Gorilla Glue, on the bench, too. Fortunately, the ceiling fire extinguishers, rained down on this parade, today! But then, the glue puffed up, growing in the rain! A problem, don’t you think? Now, in total panic Dragon decided, the fire extinguisher, off the wall, to take! He let lose the nozzle, spraying slippery foam everywhere, even on the stairs! Well, at least it ended better than it did last year. Yep, definitely by compare! Hubby was shocked as he ran down the stairs, but then slipped, and well… He’ll be out of traction soon, and I won’t tell him of his tools death knell. His woodpile’s water logged, and stuck in a glued up mushroom cloud. But on Father’s Day, Dragon knows: that his Papa will be so very proud. And the Toolbox is priceless, with it’s stories about the Gorilla Glue foam. Yes, we’ll replace everything, clearly, before his Papa DOES, get home. What finally happened to Grandpa Troll? We won’t ask and he won’t tell! Moral to the story: NEVER underestimate the trouble Dragon can entail! In parting: Happy Father’s Day… to all of you… my Friends… out there!
