Dragon Giggles

Dragon Giggles

To make a dragon giggle 
you must wiggle  both your ears 
stand upon one foot
scream and shout  and hope he hears.
If he falls down on the ground 
and his fire fizzles out
you have found his funny bone 
and he'll laugh and roll about. 
But do not be presumptuous 
and think this dragon's tame 
for fire breathing dragons 
are quite famous for their flame! 
If he doesn't think you're funny
lay down flat, pretend you're dead
and if you're lucky he won't scorch you 
but will tickle you instead!

This is adorable, absolutely adorable. You should consider writing for the children's story contest (don't remember exact name of contest, but I got close.) You tickled my tummy with your dragon tale. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
