Painting the House

Summer’s winding down, it’s chillier with the new born morning dew. So I ran out to finish painting my house, before caught in winter’s Noose. Yeah! I DO procrastinate. It’s true! But there’s a Gall-Darn reason why! His name is Dragon… Yes-sir-eeedie! And when he helps… Oh My! So be forewarned, as soon there’ll be paint, found clear up to the moon! The first thing was the ladder…He knocked it down once or twice! Grandpa Troll finally, locked it in place. Now isn’t that really nice! Fortunately, I’d already finished way up high, earlier in the spring. The penguins painted the lower parts as they made their brushes sing. And Dragon lifted them up on his tail for another section. How sweet! But if he can work so well with the penguins, just why did he have to… Knock me of my ladder, twice? A tail cramp he stated but… Honestly! Do you believe that? Oh My? But things got worse as I spilled some paint… On his head… It was just a drop or two. Honestly! Sorry, was what I said! He wiped it from his face, head, and topknot plus all that bling he wears! But did Dragon believe me? Not on your life! But I got to hose him down. Hey! That was fun! As we only use water based paint, with him around. As he wiped it off his face and all he wore, I saw his eyes spark red, Darn! Here we go, again! But EVERYONE knows not to duck beneath, my ladder. Don’t you see! But as Dragon readied to singe my butt, a Priest came forth! He’d stopped by, to bless our house, just then. Now wasn’t that So Very Sweet! I’m no dummy and asked people over, to distract Dragon, one by one, you see! Ambulance drivers arrived to say hello! The police sold us tickets, to their ball! But the best thing of all, they helped paint our house. Done with brotherly love! We even trimmed the house in cute little penguin feet! And I turned to see… Dragon feet going up a very tall tree. We’ll keep them. What do you think? As a conversational piece! Then the firemen barbecued everyone some lunch. As we got out our telescope to check the moon for Dragon paws… Sure Nuff! They were really there! I secretly, think the neighbor witch had been involved. I know sure well, some agency will call! I say, let THEM go wash them off! Now September has officially become the Dragon moon. Stop by to celebrate! The whole town’s here! Let the block party resume! Come on Y’all partake!
