Beware, the Huffle-Winks

OH, beware the Huffle-Winks
fear the magic in their eyes
for they hold the secret
of why the dragons fly.

For in the distant mountains
where the Huffle-Winks
a dragon paints the sunrise
in fire breathing pinks

while the Huffle-winks
a chubby lot
eat breakfast from
an empty pot.

yes, dragon’s see
the strangest things
while flying high
on Huffle-wings.

So close your eyes
do some Huffle-Winking
spread those wings
do some Huffle-Thinking

But before you gaze
at the Huffle-winks
go ask a dragon
what he thinks.
