Green Tea For A Green Dragon
Green tea for a green dragon
because he was on the wagon
his early days he spent drinking green absinthe
which caused him to lose his common sense
and so this led him to join AA
to escape the clutches of the green fair-ee.
Although he was no Oscar Wilde
he was considered a precious child
-a youthful 1000 years-
at concerts he gave many bronx cheers
and although he tried to be another Charles Baudelaire
his style of French just could not compare
and so he tried painting like Toulouse-Lautrec
but only ended up a nervous wreck
and he lost the chance to meet Hemingway
when he missed the train at Santa Fe.
And so his youth was misspent
he had no money to pay the rent
and thus he ended up on the street
where gangsta dudes made fun of his feet.
“I can’t help being a dragon,” said he
burying his heart at wounded knee
and so he went on the wagon
this absinthe drinking green dragon
and that’s why these days you’ll only see
our hero dragon drinking green tea.

LOL! Absinthe could become a wonderful addiction at least until the reality cops showed up. Great poem Chris! Can’t go wrong with a dragon. 😀

No, dragons are fun.
Although it is a challenge to get their muddy footprints off the furniture. 😀

Bwaaa haaa haaaa! so that’s what happened to all my furniture. 😀

Makers of Bavarian Magic Mushroom Stain Remover products are very grateful to dragons. 🙂

Just like paintings of Sherrielock are the rise in every lobster’s antenna. 😀
Hyperion said,

I can’t wait for Ya Ya Han to do a cosplay outfit of Sherrielock. Oh my, that will get a rise out of me!
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 8, 2016 at 6:12 pm
Yes, you’ll give a whole new meaning to the command, “All rise and stand at attention.”
Hyperion said,

LOL! A new internet sensation is born. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 8, 2016 at 6:24 pm
Yes, one that probably has been already tried.
I remember there was a blogger at Xanga (one who now I think about it did look a lot like Ya Ya Han) wrote a blog post complaining about the fact that so many male bloggers were sending her as messages pics of erect portions of their anatomy and what led them to think that she’d be impressed by this.
I of course never engaged in such Animal House style college fraternity like pics of my anatomy and so she read and admired my blog.
I wasn’t just a penis as far as she was concerned.

OMG! Just think of all those traumatized analysts over at the NSA who had to examine each picture and do analysis to determine if they belonged to anyone of interest. The fact no one was arrested seems to indicate a great deal of disappointment in the results of the analysis. Size does matter after all, I guess.
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Yes, no doubt health insurance claims for PTSD are rather high among former NSA analysts.
Hyperion said,
January 8, 2016 at 7:09 pm
I never thought of the hazards of the job until now.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 8, 2016 at 7:22 pm
Yes after a day of analyzing messages sent to Yaya Han, they go out the door singing a paraphrased version of a Gilbert and Sullivan song, “An NSA analyst’s lot is not a happy one.”

It explains Snowden’s breakdown more clearly. Surely he was a victim of his work environment.
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Indeed.
I hear Vladimir Putin draws the line at having his intelligence analysts analyze photos of phalluses of immature males in the 18-24 age group who suffer from overinflated egos that tend to make them unable to perceive their under inflated frontal joy sticks – pictures of which that they send to attractive female bloggers.

I was raised in a different society. I would never want THAT mugshot available for wide distribution on the internet. What’s wrong with these fools?
Dracul Van Helsing said,

That really is the trillion dollar deficit question.
When I watch movies from the ’40s and ’50s and the personalities in them and the values they reflect, I wonder what the Hell has happened these past 70-60 years?
The only thing that has come to mind is that a possible brain eating plague was unleashed on the world many decades ago.

I’m sure it was a Cold War virus that got out of the lab.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 9, 2016 at 7:02 pm
Undoubtedly.
The end result was that one Cold War superpower the Soviet Union split apart and the other Cold War superpower America has elected a long succession of Lunatics-In-Chief.
It will be next to impossible to put that genie back in the bottle.

I think this next iteration will be even worse. Not one candidate has the markings of a leader.

No the torch has been passed to a new generation of idiots bred by TV, undisciplined by schools and forfeit of rational thought…

We’ve gone from pork barreling ganstas to Barnum and Bailey assclowns.
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Proving the truth of Barnum’s statement, “There’s a sucker born every minute” although in the last 25 years of politics, it appears that there has been a sucker born every one sextillionth of a millisecond.

I think that pretty much covers the population. Hopefully someone will develop a smartphone app called Conscience that will teach us how to act like well adjusted citizens or shut off our internet until we correct our bad behavior. I know I’d get sorted out fast to keep my connection. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 6:15 pm
Yes, that’s probably the best way to go.
Take the Internet away until people shape up.
Hyperion said,
January 10, 2016 at 6:59 pm
This may go the route of be careful what you ask for, you may get it. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 7:08 pm
Yes, that’s what I’m afraid of. 😀

Chris, Me and Miss Lee are going for that $1.3 Billion lottery. We plan to buy a dump truck load of happiness with our winnings. I’ll get me one of those Hillary servers and have my own internet in a closet.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 7:21 pm
I see plenty of Canadians are crossing the border to buy the $1.3 billion lotto ticket.
Lots of news stories about that.
A Facebook friend of mine in Toronto posted earlier today, “Any one want to car pool with me to the U.S. to buy Lotto tickets?”.
Hyperion said,
January 11, 2016 at 5:29 pm
Yes, we had to move a satellite to monitor the border. I’m sure Trump will build a wall to stop the invasion. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 11, 2016 at 5:56 pm
Yes, I’m sure Trump will be putting up another Wall. 😀
If he’s elected President and America finds itself surrounded by walls, the ghost of Ronald Reagan will appear alongside Mikhail Gorbachev and say, “Mr. Trump, tear these walls down.”
Hyperion said,
January 11, 2016 at 7:03 pm
Hahahahaahah! The Ghost of Presidents past.
