Enjoy the Good Days

True happiness resides within each of us We alone are responsible for our own well being It is so easy to blame external forces, people, or events But the bottom line is, we're the ones steering the ship We're the Captain, the First Mate Right down to the deckhand swabbing the deck So here's my advise to all you nice people Always, always think positive The dark days are only temporary Believe me, life is always about ups and downs Endure the bad days... enjoy the good days © Jack Ellison 2014

Grandpa Troll agrees! Yesterday Dragon snuck into the park with the Sheriff of CrazyLand there. He smeared Chia Pet seeds all over himself and his penguins. The penguins make great Chia shrubs. Well, until a dog tried to pee on one. Trust me! Don't get a penguin angry! Dragon made a bad Chia pet. He looks like Dragon and nobody buys the swishing tail or fire coming from the greenery. The Sheriff of Crazy Land had a hard time keeping a straight face as he ordered Dragon out of the park! Really!
