You Can Bet Your Sweet Bippy

Happiness comes in many forms Remember the thrill of your first born How could you have known at the time The challenge of keeping things in line Sometimes seemed too much to bare Many obstacles, more than your share Finally you make it all the way through Hard to replace that joy you knew Now life's taken on a whole new look Your zest for living's like an open book A positive attitude goes a long long way To help get you through the darkest days Don't let gremlins get under my skin Tell them. “Get lost, you evil twins!” Life seems like the Himalayas at times Stop and think, is it worth the climb? You can bet your sweet bippy it is, my friend There's nothing more rewarding in the end Than a life all filled with laughter and joy Just like Christmas and a brand new toy Happiness comes in many forms Remember make “happy” always the norm Life is over and done way to soon Live it to the fullest, sing happy tunes! © Jack Ellison 2015

Speaking of Happy. Dragon was so Happy with his tan and it's flane detailing with it's glitter out line... That he's now sprinkling glitter on his Dragon Chia Pet. He tried a flame detailing first, but smoked the poor thing! Don't worry it'll grow back. There will be occassional minor set backs for any 3 year old Dragon, you know! LOL... Fortunately, he had 2 such Dragon chia pets. They're man size and guard the entrance to his Dragon cave bedroom. Fits his ego you know.... Are you smilling now?

PS. You can bet your sweet bippy that... A Day with Dragon is never a day without sunshine, or a good snicker, or a BIG fire extinguisher... LOL
