Dragon, the Ups Guy

Dragon! Dragon! … He’s in the air… There’s trouble on the way. Duck your head, and keep on running… He’s the UPS Guy, today! Now, Federal laws may be broken, as a few packages: well… go up in smoke! But at least he won’t be bitten, as dogs tend to run, at what he… can evoke. If they get too testy: Remember! He brings, a bottle of barbecue sauce, Hugh! Though, I doubt this job will last…as he decides, to hoard a package or two. After all, curiosity killed the cat, and Dragons get… mighty… curious, too. He’s serious: The mail MUST get thru! But, to open them, another payment’s due. If you want your package, be prepared to trade it for a shiny bobble or two. The Trolls have taught him rather well, and he’s clever, this Dragon… so true. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night: can stop him on his highborn… quest. Just know, Dragons squelch competition: He’ll be: smoking mailmen, you can bet! Mailmen and FedEx, need look out, for getting there: will put him on the top. He can get there faster, and better, by flying straight without, even, a single, stop. Thank God, he‘s young, having trouble with directions, or your job, would be gone! Yea, he’ll swish right into your yard, though it’s a shame about that shrub! Oh! Darn! If you don’t get your package, or if it tends to go up in a puff of, burning, smoke. Just don’t worry, no, not at all! For you, with your camera… He will freely pose! The fancy cape is there to remind you… That as The New, Illustrious U.P.S. Guy… He’s the next Great Super Hero: as soon as he learns to, stop falling, from the sky. Dragon would have made it, if the Federal Government hadn’t, come on thru! He had to give it up, because at two years old, The Union wouldn’t sanction to: Give him, in the end, an itty, bitty napytime… Really!… Honest!… That was true! But don’t worry; he’ll be ready to serve you… in just, one more year, or two! In Memory of Robert Scollay: A Great UPS guy and friend. Died Dec 2013

Well done Carol. My Ups guy "Moose" in the heat of summer, would wear his swimsuit under his shorts so he could take a very quick dip in our pool to cool off and be on his way in 5 min. Never saw anybody move that fast. Congratulations Carol...
