It Was a Great News Day

Dragon had an amazingly, very bad day. As only a baby Dragon can, you may say… He woke up so very early, at barely the crack of dawn… So hungry, he ate all the food he could find, with a yawn. When nothing was left he wanted just a little bit more… We all woke up to a terrible fire, to find the kitchen a roar! He could have woke us up, to prepare quite a feast, to reap… But now, it was too late, and breakfast would have to keep. With no food, the Carpenter Trolls suddenly went on strike. So we took all to breakfast, to the favorite spot they did like. Dragon got so excited, that he flew wildly, all the way there. Unfortunately, he crashed into the side of that building, so fair. You guessed? The kitchen was no more, as we entered the door. Alas, Hungry! We now tied Dragon up, as we took off once more. Now everyone would find breakfast, down the road, we did book… There, Dragon and his tail… Well, accidentally, knocked out the cook. Now, No restaurant would let us in, they were forewarned, you see. We were now being followed, on this great news day, by paparazzi. As we were hungry, with nowhere to go, a food kitchen let us come in. After a large donation, and agreeing to serve others first, there, within. We helped clean up as Dragon fell deeply asleep, in the back of the truck. Wrapped in his blankie; nightmares + shadow monsters, suddenly struck. Everywhere at hand… Nobody liked him… his mind did command!!! The monsters were there to take him away, and he thought that one had… As I grabbed him, as I tried to wake him up, so he spit fire all over our truck! It went Up in Smoke! It was becoming, an even better news day! My luck! At this point, Dragon was so upset that, finally, everyone had to line up… We kissed and hugged him, to take his left over fears, and terrors, away.Yup! Out of the blue, a priest showed up to Exorcize him, just to make sure… With tons of prayers and great gobs of wonderful holy water, so pure! Now Folks! Come on! It was just a bad day! They happen, I Honestly say! ALL thought the Sheriff crazy, as he took us home, in his paddy wagon. To Dragons Delight, driving the roads, with his Siren and Lights, blaring! That day papparazzi put our town on the map, a great Dragon tourist trap! And that’s how the sheriff got his name, ‘The Sheriff of Crazyland!’ Oh! And did I say… Sigh! It had become A Very GREAT News Day! Written 7-6-2015
