The Dragon and the Unicorn

 


The dragon and the unicorn went to market one day

The vendors saw thwm coming and put their wares away

We don't want accidents, they said,

A spiky spear is a thing we fear, and fiery breathe we dread


The dragon and the unicorn fund the stalls quite bare

Why do you people fear us, they ask, why do you stand and stare?

'Magic is danger and we're not brave. why do you wander so far from your lair?'

Send a message about your needs, we'll deliver the goods to your care'


The unicorn pointed her wand & the dragon puffed warm air

'We only want to spread pleasure and cheer, 

we want to be playful and free,

so when you sense our presence near, 

please don't feel you need to flee'

☺


'I do not like Philosophy,' said Unicorn to Dragon at tea,

'the reason why I cannot see, but I don't like Philosophy.'

They sat at home eating cakes

'Probably best for all our sakes, 

Philosophy always confuses causes, 

too many arguments, too few pauses.'

'Indeed,' said the unicorn, 'it makes me feel like a multi-horn 

-- too heated by half, usually.'

'My fiery breathing is hot enough, thesis-antithesis wearies me.'

'We deal in magic, which sets us free!

Now do breathe on the pot, to warm up the tea.'

Cat and Dog chat about freedom

  I'm old enough to remember when dogs roamed free in the streets. Now we can't even go to a park off-leash. Same for cats -- imprisonment. We can't even go to parks at all. Who's behind this mean-spirited house-arrest? I don't know, but I call them the Tailaban. LATER Cat:  You're trailing a leash. So they took you on a walk. Where? Bistro? Gastro?  Dog:  Pet-ro. They took me to the dog park -- full of posturing urban glamour dogs wearing designer dog-jackets. Me, I was in my same old coat. It was like a fashion cat-walk. Cat:  Cat-walk?  Cats don't get to go on walks. Where are the cat parks? Parks aren't all great, some are all rules, like 'Leash Only'. You want to be on a cat leash? WHAT ??!

Winter Hibernation -- dream time

Why did the bear limp in spring? He had a hibernated disc.  Relax, its' winter -- let your standards slip and your slippers stand. Here's a verse to read the kids: Slumber safely, animals, dreaming bees and crocodiles, The sun now up will soon go down, and night spread hush on field and town Nothing makes a season stay, 'Until next time' we always say, As Earth the Mother turns from Sun we bid adieu, one to one:           "Later 'gator”, and Antelope,           Manana Panda, we faithfully hope         And toodle-oo Kangaroo,         See ya soon, Arctic Loon        You're starting to nod,        Gastropod                                                               Bonne nu...
