Poem
Or catching up with the holidays… They’re a great family treat, for all to see… In the summer Dragon catches lightening bugs, and thinks they promise us fireworks. In the fall Dragon catches Lady Bugs in the house, he thinks they give us Jack Frost. Capturing Jack Frost gives us, Dragon does think, snow for the snowy kind of sports. In the winter Dragon chases Santa Clause wherever he can find him. Why? Because… He thinks he’ll get more presents, holding Santa hostage, to ransom back to the elves! Santa explained he doesn’t play Hide N Go Seek, by being put inside his Santa bag. Santa sooo loves Dragon, that he never catches on. But don't worry! We’ll let him go! Certainly, just before Christmas Time, and he’ll leave with a Ho! Ho! Ho! You know! It also works with the Easter Bunny in the spring! He gets Great Easter Eggs Supreme! Try it! You'll like it, he says! Tho his mind can become quite absurd, in his schemes. It worked at Halloween, tho the witches stopped Dragon from getting them. How you ask? By turning him into a frog, his costume did WIN! WIN! WIN! Dragon was popular, again! Dragon was disappointed, he grabbed a turkey, and it didn’t give him a pumpkin pie! Silly Dragon! Catching a turkey won’t make them give you pumpkin pies! NO! NO! NO! Sooo HOW do you explain to a Dragon that Turkeys do NOT bring pumpkin pies? He’s ALWAYS heard they’re ‘The Guest of Honor’ where those pies DO show up! Inviting one to dinner is NOT exactly the same as, What our Dragon thinks? Yep! HE does have an innocent and gentle, though somewhat, STRANGE kind of mind! But holding one hostage won’t get a ThanksGiving blessing, from the Turkey, I think! A few pecks and other boo boo's perhaps, but no blessings! Darn! Now what am I to do? Geez! Guess I’ll have to invite a Turkey for Thanksgiving and then cook a ham. After all, I really don't want to insult an honored guest, you know! Though, our newly adopted Aunt is eyeing that big old Turkey cooking pan... Sigh… She is NOT going to like our decision, to let that darn Turkey… Give the ThanksGiving Blessing! Yes, I’m going to make Dragon Happy! No one likes a grumpy Dragon, or a grumpy old witch! I doubt passing her ham, will make her happy. More likely to grump, and to twitch… Maybe I'd better keep any sharp utensils away from her! After all…It's just not courteous… To eat an Honored Guest. Oh Boy! This is really going to be a memorable Holiday feast!!! Chuckle... Stay tuned... Will the feathers fly? Will our Aunt fly away on her broom? Or… Will she…Take said broom… and chase Old Turk around the room? Will Dragon get blessed or pecked by a Turkey? And will I write about it? Yep! You know, that I would! Indeed I just did, as that pie sailed so elegantly thru the room! Yep! Catching up with the holidays, has a somewhat different meaning, definitely… Here! At our house! But like all Holiday traditions, to us, they are just as important… As to most. So have a Happy Thanksgiving… no matter… how… you celebrate… Folks! --- Dragon--- put those pies down--- You know you have to share! --- Sigh --- Now I’ve got pie in my hair! --- And a tad in my eye! --- WELL, Here We Go! Let the FUN Begin… Written 11-12-2016
