Seventeen Hundred Creations

Dragon has left the winter behind; but’s still wound up & flighty as a bat. He’s in competition with a friend, to be more creative than Dear old Jack. He wants to make Dragon concrete art, for with Jack Ellison, to compete! If Jack can do 1700 poems, he won’t rest until 1700 statues, are complete. He already sells concrete Dragon footprints, popular wherever he goes. We use them as stepping-stones on our land, everywhere, you know! First he wants a leaning tower of Dragon, to help scare away our moles. Then a Dragon Colosseum, within which to practice... our Ninja Trolls. Next a splash pool you can walk thru, with Dragons to touch and to hold. He’ll build the Great Wall of Dragon, complete with a kiddy slide, I’m told! Another idea is a Statue of Liberty Dragon with music coming from inside. All of it patriotic, as sung by our illustrious and greatly talented Troll choir. Then Dragon street lamps, to light up & make life safer, throughout the lands! The Mayor said he could make all this into a new tourist ‘Dragon Land’. Disney World ‘Eat your heart out!’ We truly DO know, where IT is truly at! But Dragon balked at being made a comic strip character at first, how sad! But we told him Super Heroes are in comic books, throughout ALL the land. Now he will become, ‘Dragon with a D’, of course, with lots of adoring fans. If you want to be in his comics, Holler ‘HELP’! I’ll write you in, like a pro! Between exploring his new escapades, he’ll be making his own statues, so... Yea! He’s doing untold number of poses, to be put in…The City Park! This should make the Sheriff of Crazyland, simply… Happy as a Lark! We’ll start with a Dragon Festival there, with Dragon dances everywhere. Firemen Welcome as Parade floats of Paper Dragons, dance as they sail by! Dragon sees himself as a Super-dillious-ish Hero, as his stories spin each day! But Dragon as a comic book figure? Naw! He can’t picture it… No Way! So we’ll just have to keep that part to ourselves, as sparks fall on his parade. For you simply have to remember that... REALITY is NOT his thing! Written 5-21-2015

I wish I could make a book and one of those graphic novel comics... But alas my hand tremers took the artistic part from me. Sigh... Maybe if I can eventually publish a book... Then some one will make my dream come true... Life has it's good times if we only dream.

Clearly, Dragon is a different sort of, "fine artist" and not just given to producing any old thing. I'm a bit disappointed though; I was about to yell, "Help". I don't suppose he'd reconsider that comic book? It would certainly be an honor to be in it.
