Super Duper Guy and Dragon

Hubby was working, out of town, lately, so we went to pick him up. And we passed thru the town of Metropolis in our ancient pickup truck. Now don’t think Dragon didn’t notice, that this was the town so grand… Where lives, Super Duper Man, the greatest hero, in all, this great land. And we’re not so silly, as to let Dragon fly off, on his own, alone, again! Yep! We tied him to that old pickup truck, to keep him safely held within. Grandpa Troll sat in the back, telling stories to distract Dragon, on a whim. But we were lost, the moment we passed, the town statue of, yes, HIM!!! Next to the statue, was Lois Lame, as Dragon often calls her, so very grand. She was tired of being alone, as her guy saves everyone else in all the land. So setting up a picnic, she loudly yelled for his unfaltering help, and charms. Expecting him to naturally show up, and fall into her waiting yearning arms. Now Dragon considers himself a Super Hero and flew to save her, so kind. Unluckily, he took off dragging us, too, like in a childs’ wagon, right behind! Until we got hung up on a fire hydrant, breaking it, and leaving nothing dry. Doing what any red-blooded people would do, we panicked! Oh Me! Oh My! So using our fire extinguisher, we bonked him soundly on his widdle head! Of course, it didn’t knock him out, but got his attention to us, finally, instead. But not before our dear Lois, was accidentally, planted face down in the mud. Then she’d gotten up and attacked Dragon, heartily, kicking him in the butt. Grandpa Troll caught them by the scruff of the neck, picking them, both up. You can say, Grandpa Troll had two Dragons by the tail, as he held on, Yup! Apparently, for dear life, because they’d both turned on him to get put down. Super Duper Man swooped in; just then, helping to separate, the two clowns! To all our horror, Dragons’ tail, accidentally, tripped him into the mud, too! Thank goodness, Super Guy has a sense of humor, that’s next to none, true! Apparently, he’d heard rumors of his greatest fan, so he took us all to lunch. He told us of his exploits and calmed everyone down, Thank you very much! I’ve no doubt; this day will live on, in infamy, and the hearts of poets, so true. Autographs and stories were exchanged, all agreed, Lois would get the news. Yes, she got the exclusive and that was that… Oh and yes…don’t forget! It had been… Another Great News Day… As it came to… The End!

Yes, CArol this is a prime example of your light poetry style that you are so well suited to!! I like how you explain it also as story poem. Honestly I did not know that to be the definition of light poetry. I always thought it meant "not serious" but also you called it humorous story and that is exactly what this is !! Congrats on your win.
