Texas Or Bust

Dragon got excited, just the other day He wanted to meet his Dragon friend Drag Way out in that Lone Star Texas State So he donned his really big Texas boots and hat Put his courageous penguins right there, on his back They too, were dressed in their cowboy best, duds N stuff Then low and behold, my sweet little idiot, really did take off To find Walker Texas Ranger, he said, and without me along I was left there, staring, cause he didn’t invite me, awe Gee come on!! Now I’d have to chase him in our really fast 50’s car that goes 22mph But only to the edge of town, for he is a 3 year old baby dragon, after all Yep, at that age, his body is big and his wings are small! Yeah! It’s true. Don’t you know. Now, imagine the trouble he’s into! Luckily he missed the house and barn, but nose-dived into the snow Yep, the drift 4 stories tall! Thought we’d be searching there, for days But out, from far below, came a mighty roar, from VERY deep within Seems he didn’t like so much snow in his Widdle Baby Face and skin! I’m laughing here, (again) Folks, but with that we knew where to begin. It took the Fireman, Policemen, Butcher, Baker, and Candlestick Maker… To finally get him out, fortunately, we have put trackers on the penguins Yep, that helped to get THEM out. Isn’t technology marvelous? I say! HEY! LITTLE penguins, BIG snow! Even you can figure THAT one out! Seems their new necklaces with trackers, were perfect in this much snow Yep! When we pulled Dragon out, his fire was (again) puffing snow! The Trolls counted penguin toes to make sure we had them all. Hey, don’t ask! Simply remember that they are Trolls, so no need to ask… We made it home by nightfall and tucked all our tired little babies in to bed Just so you know… Sorry Drag… The visit will have to wait, for a while But perhaps we can try (again) next Fall, when the snows are melted. Some more… Well… At least we can hope!

Verse #5 is roll-on-the floor funny as is the rest! Was just wondering what his boot and hat size is and where in the heck did you find them? Oh! (silly me) 'DragonMart' of course...I'm sure he must have had Dr. Scholl's inserts as well? I certainly hope you have a children's book in the works by now...Congrats my friend - Tim
