Dragon Drivel-A Mega Challenge

Government

While pretending to bring help and light
The government is the parasite
Everything but the kitchen sink
It takes to cover its red ink
Patriotism counts for naught
If by the tax man you get caught
Common sense has long been lost
Nobody cares about the cost
I still have my library card
They left the crab grass in the yard
In California they take that too
And it’s my fault I’m so blue?
They always crank my postage up
Next they’ll take my gold rimmed cup
Soon my house will be up for sale
Payment of government blackmail
It takes no stethoscope to know
There is no heart in laws limbo
Meals on wheels for crows we’ll be
The love of my life and little old me.

Our ten word challenge -Poor Doris

Doris Dragon had a parasite. It was feasting on her left wing and she thinks she got it from the flock of crows. She felt like she was now meals on wheels or to be more exact meals on wings. Over and over she said to , nobody in particular “ It’s my fault . Mother said stay away from crows.”
For the last three days she had tried to get rid of it by hitting it with everything but the kitchen sink. She even tried some parasite spray she had gotten on sale, but nothing worked. Unless she could get rid of it she would miss the big parade tomorrow. It wasn’t that she was unpatriotic, her patriotism was never in doubt, but with that think sucking on her wing she couldn’t fly well.
That’s when George Dragon came. George describes Doris as “the love of my life” and he hated to see her in pain. So he took Dr. John’s library card and went and read all about parasites that attack dragons. He felt that was a common sense thing to do. He discovered she had a blebellied dragon tick which had only one weakness. So he breathed fire on her wing and burned up the tick. Doris now has a slight wing burn but no parasite. She is so relieved.
Warning .Dragons in California with this parasite must travel to another state to remove it as California’s clean air laws will not allow it to be burned there.
