Can you save my baby? The mama elephant queried.
Huffle Falcon was surprised and a tiny bit worried.
I can try, he said, but he looks almost too heavy for me.
Please, she asked. He’s my baby, my little Boy Bree.
So Huffle Falcon carried mama’s pride and joy to safety.
That was not enough, he ended up raising little Boy Bree.
They formed such a bond, he never wanted to give him back.
Mama escaped her captors and hunted them to their shack.
It’s time to come home, she told her son, who shook his head.
I will not return because Huffle Falcon is my daddy, he said.
He had been with him two years, six hours and a day.
He was not about to leave him or be coaxed away.
Huffle Falcon had returned to the shack and was glad.
He loved being Little Boy Bree’s loved up Dad.
Let’s raise him together, he told the Elephant Mom.
That is just what they did, from that second on…..

A surprise move by the Nordic King
He orders his men to kill Huffle-Winks
They are big-headed junks hollering mouthfuls
Blood they need of Princess Umberta.
'Take them into confidence' the dragons
They are so poor, shorn of fire-power
And master of Huffle-winks takes note of
The dragonflies are so busy with lillipooks.
In predawn strike, Huffle-Winks bleed
Dragons' mightiest scales lose glitter
Legends fall into pieces,vulnerable stories
Litter the pavement to be walked over.
Now, she tramples the path out in garden
In regular errands to Umberta's studio
A baby dragon little feet wonder chum
The princess is happy with the kingdom.

The tiny dragons dance aloft
whilst dragonflies soar amuck
They dance over the lake, over the lake they waft
The huffle-winks peer from the muck
At the bright flittering troupe
Dancing over the water, dancing by the brush
Those dancing dragons, how they swoop!
The water ripples under
They spin, twirl and dive, such an acrobatic group
Huffle-winks leap to the flutter
Dancing over the dark lake
Prancing glad with the rest, 'til, alas, it's over

Huffle-winks came from the forest of Jom
The King sent five knights to track them all down
For they had brought terror to the kingdom
He offered his daughter and prince’s crown.
Four of the bold knights by dragons were slain
But one lone brave knight continued the quest
Through woods, rivers and mountainous terrain
Until quest completed he would not rest.
The forest entrance surrounded by mire
Here the huffle-winks would meet their demise
That is where the brave knight built a large fire
Their enemies helped him, the dragonflies.
Huffle-winks are gone, they’ve not been seen since
The knight wed the princess and was crowned prince.

Dragons, Dragonflies and Huffle-winks--
a mythical monster like a giant reptile
This fire breathing dragon spitting out fire
Huffle-winks lizard drinks insect blinks
The swamp waters pales stinks
Doomsday, Ragnarok, end of times
Chaos or evil, symbol of fertility climbs
Associated with water and the heavens
Big wings fire breathe levels
Huffle-winks lizard drinks insect blinks
Dragons fly lizard giant or insect
And in the stench fog covered waters birth
Long before the dinosaurs walked the Earth
A fast-flying long-bodied predator thinks
Huffle-winks lizard drinks insect blinks
Dragonflies not the lizard cry
Fitters by the waters-lake and dragons eye
Insect double winged helicopter found
Hoovering flying low to ground
Huffle-winks lizard drinks insect blinks
Big eyed bug flies lives in the water sinks
Ancient insects long before the dinosaurs walked the Earth
Oh my,
My, oh my!! blowing fire and smoke out the mouth
Blow the winds of fire from your abdomen Huffle-winks
Majestic insect fire-breathing lizard dragon

The unbelievable did happen
Much to everyone's dismay
Dragons, Dragonflies and Huffle-Winks
Lost to Republicans Election Day
They blamed it on Russians
Faked reports of collusion
Spent huge amounts of money
Nothing came of their delusionmo
Officially elected
To fix what was a mess
Republicans got busy
And ignored all the rest
Vast historical changes
Less welfare in years
Countries praising the USA
Music to Trump's ears
Deep-stated shananigans
Started coming back to haunt
They had accused Republicans
Of their own criminal jaunts
It was evident to all
Huffle-Winks, Dragons and Dragonflies
That Republicans were still winning
Despite innuendos and lies
The moral of this story...
Exactly what you would think
Dragons, Dragonflies and Huffle-Winks
Are becoming extinct

Where dragons roam and dragonflies fly,
There are Huffle-Winks that wink when they fly by
They are every color of the rainbow
And they love to put on a show
Every time it winks, a dream comes true
It is your dream, as long as it winks at you
You may see it follow the dragonfly
So, always try to keep a watchful eye
Your dream may be the very next one
To happen with the wink of Huffle-Wink’s fun

You've no doubt heard of fire-breathing dragons,
and their obsession with hoarding treasure.
But you have never heard of Huffle-Winks,
magical creatures that promote pleasure.
Invisible, atop their dragonflies,
they ride the winds of fate mile after mile.
And wherever they encounter a frown,
they attempt to flip it into a smile.
They summon dragonflies to get around,
for, unlike dragons, they haven't learned to fly.
But, if you suddenly feel like laughing,
it's a safe bet; a Huffle-Wink's nearby.
In winter, when dragonflies disappear,
they hitch a ride upon tumbling snowflakes.
And if you're lucky enough to catch one,
it's like winning the lottery sweepstakes.
I've never seen one, except in my dreams,
but I feel, in my heart, they are real.
And what makes me so sure that they exist
is the joyful way that they make me feel.
When you're feeling particularly blue,
remember, Huffle-Winks are all around.
And as spirits of jocularity,
they ensure that smiles and laughter abound.

It was Monday morning blahs agog
when I rose to walk my little dog.
Barely was the sun arising
while in the distance clouds passed by spying
Playing peek a boo in the morning rays
with drops of dew lay on the grass in play
but all the while I walked slow and half asleep
to gather in the light and warmth that creeped,
High up in the pale blue sky,
the dragons were on the fly
I stopped to watch
the play a cumulus hopscotch.
My little dog spied his own attractions
as dragonflies drew his attentive distractions
and thru the grass we sprint and ran in sync
lest we come across some unseen huffle wink.
There in the shadows something did move
and surprised we were by nothing we could prove
A Huffle Wink
large and blushing rosy pink
sent us quickly looking back in disbelief
as the two of us escaped its grasp to our relief.

OH, beware the Huffle-Winks
fear the magic in their eyes
for they hold the secret
of why the dragons fly.
For in the distant mountains
where the Huffle-Winks
a dragon paints the sunrise
in fire breathing pinks
while the Huffle-winks
a chubby lot
eat breakfast from
an empty pot.
yes, dragon’s see
the strangest things
while flying high
on Huffle-wings.
So close your eyes
do some Huffle-Winking
spread those wings
do some Huffle-Thinking
But before you gaze
at the Huffle-winks
go ask a dragon
what he thinks.
