Year Of The Dragon

Ada was plagued by a nightmare. She thought she was tied to the bed and a horrible vision appeared in her mind - a dragon, all flaming and red...

"Oh, the flames are too near! I'll be roasted alive!" were the words on her lips as she woke,"Is my bottom on fire?  I'm certain it is - why, surely that smell is ...is...SMOKE?!

"When Caddoc and I had a night on the town, quaffing rice wine  by the flagon, I forgot my poor head...Now its dreams  have hit hard, I wish I had stayed on the waggon! "

"There there, beloved. Worry no more.That posh Chinese nosh was to blame - I'm sure by the morning all will be well." Caddoc's words sounded awfully lame.

But wait! On a sudden, SHE was the dragon. Caddoc soon would be quaking with fear, now wifey had morphed to a Welsh Dragon Ada, toasting the Chinese New Year!

(For more bare bottoms, see The Mag ...and this!)
But then, Caddoc Trellis sent a poem to me by email last night after reading my post (above). He asked me to keep it under wraps, which naturally is why I'm adding it as a tailpiece (so to speak.)

When I get in THAT position
only one thing's on my mind.
Is someone with a lighted match
creeping up behind
waiting for a fearsome blast
of noxious Winter Wind?**
An unkind way, I do declare
of burning off my botty hair!

**Must pronounce "Wind" as in Shakespeare's  "Oh blow thou wintry wind, thou art not so unkind as Man's ingratitude...  "

    At last! I've read about 60 Magpies hoping someone would post about lighting f**ts. Caddoc's is superlative.

      I think you should read my comment again, Mr.Trellissimo. There aren't any others! So no Mag numbers.

    What does one who thinks "all things are slightly impure" make of this? I think it's about the best laugh in blogland.

      Thank you Lucy! Luckily for all of us, Ada's sense of humour is always tucked behind her bark which is worse than her bite...

    My two younger brothers and they're mates would do that after a night out drinking beer. They'd all sit gathering it up and waiting until they were ready and had a lighter each, then they would all let rip in unison. Talk about flame throwers!!! LOL

      Don't try it at home without blowback protection along the lines of the miners' safety lamp. An accidental back-fire can seriously damage your chances. I'm a Doctor. I know about these things. I'm paid to know about these things.

    In a few weeks' time, I'm seriously going to spend one Saturday/Sunday going over all Cad and Ada's entries here! What a hoot! And to be adding current afairs and things just sets the challenge and amuses the readers. Brilliantly crafted!

      I did the same thing myself a week or so back, when Blogland was pretty dead, and I can recommend this place for entertainment - but don't tell Trellissimo, Ada or Cad - they might get big-headed!
