Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Unbearable

               Komodo dragons do not breathe fire
               I’ve seen one and I’m not a liar

                  Their 90 per cent kill rate
                  Demonstrates they'll lie in wait

               For Smokey the Bear’s funeral pyre

Kim Rodrigues March 8, 2026 at 5:05 PM Loved the Komodo Dragon in the movie “The Freshman.” Is Smokey the Bear still around? Gershon Wolf March 8, 2026 at 8:22 PM Incredible lizard, that Komodo dragon! As for Smokey, he may still be around, but he sure is asleep at the switch on reporting and puttingi out forest fires. lol. ~ gw
