The Silver Lining Space Cadet sold drugs
His sales were interrupted by nasty thugs
A Chinese gang gave him broken bones
Under garbage in grease left to his moans
He made the long crawl to the ice minaret
The mosques mandala with blood he wet
Priest gave him a mug of wood turtle soup
Sent him to the hospital to recoup
There he learned to use a slide rule
His sanguine self saw that as cool
So back to college then he went
His old life of drugs he did repent
His sales were interrupted by nasty thugs
A Chinese gang gave him broken bones
Under garbage in grease left to his moans
He made the long crawl to the ice minaret
The mosques mandala with blood he wet
Priest gave him a mug of wood turtle soup
Sent him to the hospital to recoup
There he learned to use a slide rule
His sanguine self saw that as cool
So back to college then he went
His old life of drugs he did repent

Absolutely entranced by the dragon facts! I think the shape shifting astronaut was Gus Grissom, but I know dragons will not reveal those types of things...sigh
ReplyDeleteAnd if dragons are helping us rid ourselves of the garbage, can they start on politicians...please?
I enjoyed the poem - most edifying. I'll certainly store up those facts, never know when I might want to impress.
