Poem Title:
Poem
The Firemen were ready for their competition, as excitement did abound. Then in flew Super Dragon, while landing, he mowed his buddies down. Yep, he had landed tail over appetite, but of course, that they did expect. As one lassoed him, with the hose, before he again, took the fire truck out. Those firemen are truly fast thinkers, even when knocked from their feet. But Dragon is on their team, so they know to expect the worst, you see! So when Dragon breathed his normal fiery sigh of relief, they knew to… Throw the usual bucket of water in his face, as they always, normally do! Then everybody hugged Dragon, as he smiled, a REALLY WHOLE LOT! For firemen are a special breed, that know how to enjoy the spice of life! For spice, Dragon gives them, with no exceptions, every blooming time. Wise, at the Hose Hoist, they let him blow the whistle at the starting line. When it melted, for the Forcible Entry Event, he was given the bell to chime. And when he got his head stuck in it… Don’t ask how… We do NOT know! He was the Victim Rescued, when the Jaws of Life was used, to let him go. Then they gave him a flag, to use at the finish line… to flag the winner down. Yep! He was part of their obstacle course, as he tripped, a few, he didn’t intend! He then became, of course, the Dummy, they carried to that Events final End. And he was the honored spray target, on the Hose Event, later on my friend! The Climbing the Ladder with the Hose Event… now seemed easy, in the end. You see, Dragon being Dragon, simply doesn’t bother them… No! Not at all! For they’re the He-Men Firemen, Quoting Dragon ‘The BESTEST of them all!’ And as Dr. Seuss says ‘Why fit in… when you were born to stand out.’ And… ‘Watch where you step. For life is a great balancing Act.’ Or ‘You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.’ To that, we know, Dragons not to be missed, or he’ll accidentally mow you down! And just so you’ll know, our Firemen are also, the best Dragon wranglers around. They stay vigilant, and keep their eyes open, when Dragons’ around. You can bet! For they’re The Undivided Winners, Definitely the Bestest Firemen- you can get! Written by Carol Eastman 6-2-2016
