In Trouble Again

In Trouble Again Dragon, Dragon ran off, at daylight, to town, So I had to follow the crazy clown. Grandpa Troll came running after me, Then came the penguins…1…2…3. Everyone watched as we ran by, Wondering what had happened, bye and bye. Was the Sheriff of Crazyland running us down? Just what had Dragon done this time around? Curious as curious, as surely can be, Now, they also, ran following…1…2…3. Then the more that followed, running on their feet, Started, yet more, quickly running down the street! The more that followed him, the more the crowd grew, Tweeting others to come, to also get in on the coup… At this Dragon ran into The Park and up toward an ice cream treat. They were all shocked! That’s all it was? You’re kidding me? They were about, to all return home, but were hungry and tired, you see, And the concession stand was as appealing, as appealing can be. They’d by then, realized it was the first Spring Day to get a great cone… And Dragon was glad he’d ran; with so many people it would’ve all been gone. Yes, Dragon had indeed caused things to happen again… But this time it was amid a great deal of applause, where he did reign. And he’d done it with only… the love for an ice cream cone! That’s our Dragon, stirring things up! You just got to know!
