Some feel rich from worldly possessions Some feel rich from loving expressions The tenderness of touch That we crave so much That speak of love, these simple obsessions © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragon's little pet reptilian... is very much a tactillion... Because of course he is a camoflage camillion... He copies Dragons' colors in the millions... As Dragon ego soars in the billions.
