THERE BE DRAGONS

Quadrille Monday and there be
dragons!  Some of them might
be a nice exchange for some of the
stuff our children are being fed
in movies and television today.
 “Scuse me for being an old fogy!
***************












Children believe in magic
They never get enough
But even Puff the Magic Dragon
Finally ran out of puff   

Guns, all sorts, are glorified
And used to harm or kill
 I wish Puff would just come back  
If we believe in magic,
 perhaps he will.

  1. Puff is my favorite, I was here in the 60's. Going to take more than magic I sense! Nice poem.

  3. I agree completely with your message. We need much more Puff, and much less gunsmoke.

  4. A little magic might just go a long way. Let’s all clap our hands and over and over again, chant, “I do believe!”

  5. I think we need the gentleness of Puff the magic dragon in our lives. There is so much pain.

  8. That is so true. The days when you could fob kids off with magic dragons seem to be gone.

  12. magical dragons - my son LOVES them. He is 11 and the popular 5th grade girls make fun of him for it. You can only imagine I want to breathe a bit of fire on them...

  13. I think there has been way too much glorification of guns... a sweet dragon is so much better.
