A Mega Challenge

Saving the Dung Beetle

The poor city Haz-mat team
Was pushed to the extreme
Dung Beetle needed to be saved
From the conniving and depraved
Who perforated the ground
Where it was usually found
Incensed the ecological crowd
Screamed this couldn’t be allowed
With zeal they lead the fight
To make everything be right
Like cheerleaders they shouted out
They had great political clout
With origami beetles filled city hall
In the fight whatever befall
The Mayor a conniption had
Drove him stark raving mad
No bogus anger his reply
“Let the Dung Beetles die
They smell like rotting things
Rotting things with wings”
“Chlorophyll can fix the smell
Save the planet . Let them dwell
Customize the city reply
They all don‘t have to die
Don‘t fire a sidewinder
You can be much kinder
Abstemious destruction of the bug
Better than acting like a thug
Like rolling off a log you see
The best answer for you and me ”’

The Ten Word Challenge

The Dragon’s History Book– Chapter One

At the dawn of time as dragon’s know it the world was perfect. We needed no Has-Mat teams as there was no hazardous waste.
History was saved as stories ,told by the Storyteller Dragon to the little dragons, as there were no humans to write things down.
These stories were treated as sacred truth and no bogus stories were allowed. You might think that becoming a Storyteller would be as easy as rolling off a log but it was not. It required many years of instruction to sure they got the stories right. They also had to demonstrate a zeal for the sacred truth given to us in stories by the One Creator.
But it came to pass that there arose Sidewinder who had been a Storyteller but was thrown out because of his conniving to customize the sacred texts to fit his generation of dragons. The GSAAS ( Great Storyteller Above All Storytellers was incensed and almost had a conniption fit when heard what Sidewinder was doing. He called the High Dragon Council together and they order Sidewinder’s death by perforation.
But before he could be perforated he formed “ The Reform Dragon Group” . It was made up of people like himself who believed in their hearts that the truth needed to be set free.
Eventually this lead to the Great Dragon War. The only war where dragon killed dragon. The reform movement was crushed. But there were those who told the story of the war and one day it was added to the official stories. And thus Sidewinder became our first Great Martyr.
