Why Do They Call You Little Jim
The mountaineers were thrilled with the goat keeper’s help.
He had been instrumental in keeping the goats in line for them.
If you move here permanently, we will feed you krill, soup and kelp.
Okay, agreed the dragon goat keeper; his name was Little Jim.
Why do they call you that? A brave mountaineer asked the dragon.
Little Jim studied him for a few seconds before he said with a smile,
Since you asked, I will reply. Do you see my tail a wagg’n?
It is smaller than the tails of my six brothers by a Philadelphia mile.
