Poem
A meteor came falling to Earth, as Dragon was flying, so very, very, close by. His curiosity, must of got the best of him, as he ended up on board, in the sky. Some say it was simply an accident, after all, we all know, how well he flies! Whatever occured, the meteor was redirected, saving our town, before our eyes. Though, no doubt, it was only redirected, due to Dragon’s, fearfully hanging on. Many do swear, they heard him crying, for Mama and, yes, Grandpa Troll, anon. This wasn’t good, for the people of Nodding-off-Ham, where peace is so sublime. Yep, these shy, and retreating folk; were in trouble for yet, again, another time. Remember, the Sheriff of CrazyLand lives there, Dragon’s most ardent foe. Why there, you ask? To be far from Dragon’s type of craziness, we all know. Yep! You got it! The meteor’s flight was, for the Sheriff, not so very sublime. It Hit the Sheriff’s home, head on, leaving a crater, where he once, did reside. Dragon was thrown and bounced a few times, resulting in an big earthquake… Took out most of the town! But don’t worry or cry! All was well after a remake. For everyone from Mayhem Falls: came to see… the resulting gaping hole… Trolls jumped into the new pool, made from the broken water pipes, Yo Ho! Dragon tried to gather everyone up, to take them home, with him, to reside. It took a Lot of effort to round them up... nobody wanted, with him, to abide! They kept running away! Until they realized they’d be staying in our home alone. For a little while, that is, until the Carpenter Trolls, finished their brand new homes. When rebuilding, the homes… bigger and better, became the name of the game! And a new Community Center, came with the swimming pool, now so acclaimed! Not to mention, a meteorite was found, worth a King’s ransom in glorious gold. Finally the shy people of ‘Nodding-off-Ham’ returned, to close their doors, so bold. All agreed that it hadn’t been quite so bad, as could be… along life’s tragic shore. And it ended: a Great News Day, for all, when our Hero Dragon, did save our town! So ends the most recent tale of our neighbors, in the town of ‘Nodding-off-Ham’. The moral: Help can come from unusual places; even Dragon’s and Trolls known for a little Mayhem… Written by Carol Eastman 7-7-2016
