Poem Title:
Poem
I'm afraid that this poem was too long to post in one part; here's Part 2, full title: Dragons Make Great Heating Systems (Until They Discover That There’s More To Life…) The next month we received two plane tickets, for free, to go out to old “CA”; his life film to see. In a bookstore he autographed our copies and then we had tea; the manager was told, we were his, “Family”. “Such a gifted young dragon you folks have raised.” He declared, he shook both our hands and pulled up a chaise. “You folks have given us all a great gift; your dragon, his talents, our spirits did lift.” A free tour of the studio, we got that week and on the weekend, we went fishing, in dragon's favorite creek. We got autographed pictures and souvenirs’ galore; we’d never seen such publicity before. Back home we flew and to our surprise; our piano, we heard, was playing inside. “That piano is ours!” I shouted and rushed through the door; it was no surprise; I should've known, of course. There sat our new dragon, playing without any care. “Welcome home”, he said, “come and see what I’ve prepared”. He’d cooked up a giant supper, for us to eat; it included steamed pears, cole slaw and even chipped beef. Wine he had poured as we took our seats; such a succulent display of tasty delicacies. We knew what would happen, as he filled our plates; when he showed us the cookbook, he’d written, to date. So just know, if for heat, a dragon you choose; be prepared with a backup, for he, you will lose. Especially if his insomnia reigns, if he dreams, is creative; your life will soon change. We ate very well for a couple of years; then our eyes, once again, shed big giant tears. Here came the plane tickets; we had a great trip. We toured his studio kitchen; grew larger bellies and hips. Home once again, we received another treat; Dragon three’s an inventor, though he can’t boil a beet. He’s managed to build us a new heating device; in the summer it cools, like we’re sitting on ice. It costs nothing to run and dragon three’s fame; We all celebrated with a glass of champagne. All the dragons will visit, on the big holidays and we feel very blessed, that they share our family name.
