A Storm Is a Brewing

Dragon and the Sheriff of CrazyLand are in competition, Whoa to all! I think what they’ve developed, must be a macho, low key, kinda brawl. Fighting became their way, long before The Wizard of Oz came to the Park. And they BOTH wanted to be the Wizard, I expected nothing less, of course. The sheriff’s brother was the director, so… you know WHO, became the Wiz. But our darling Dragon got to wear that gorgeous, flying monkey suit. Amen! And where do you think those flame’s for the Wiz come from, I pray, to say... Yep, Dragon’s become very importantly ensconced… deep within this play. He looks so great in his monkey suit as he sails into those illustrious scenes. His penguins happily follow him in, hanging and bouncing from their strings. Now, if only Dragons tail would stop waging and bouncing at those strings! But they don’t care, cause they get to fly… a most coveted penguin thing! The Wiz on the other hand, seems to have finally learned, of fireproof pants. His drapes catch fire, nightly, but of course, he didn't need them, very much. Gee, it’s peculiar, how his Wizard robes, keep getting shorter, with the sparks. And the Wiz gets hit nightly, with an extinguisher, to the paparazzi’s delight! And who do you think does the special effects to drop that famous house? The Wiz suggested Dragon under study, for the wicked Witch, isn't he nice? But the best part is when Dragon gets to lift the wiz in that famous balloon! The Wiz never seems to get back for the final bows, unless he’s drenched, too. Dragon says he puts the balloon into the lake, to give the Wiz, a soft landing. So Grandpa Troll, made an escape hatch on the basket’s bottom siding. Next time, when Dragon drops the basket, and the Wiz, doesn't come up… Dragon'll miss his bows, as he searches for his nemesis, the Wiz, No Doubt! You can bet, that poor, dear, Wiz was tired of getting soaked, my friends! But he was willing to do it, to make publicity for his brother’s play in the end. The paparazzi soaked it up, giving the best free advertising, found anywhere! The Wiz was featured in all, while Dragon appeared in his Monkey suit. Amen! All in all, that crafty Director, made sure every body won in the end! And Grandpa Troll's there, to keep everything safe, fun and pretend. Dragon will catch on, eventually, to what’s been going on… and I suspect... Dragon and the Wiz BOTH will become, friendly, willing, partners in crime. Finally in… The End… 7-12-2014
