Dumbledee

by lonna blodgett

Dumbledee

Dumbledee Dragon had birds on his knees
    and lived
     
                Merrily
                      H a p p i l y
                          S  C  R  A  P  P  I  L  Y  !!

    in the land of Tweedledee Dee

His long
              L o n g
                    L  O  N  G  neck

    would magically grow green peas
    that would pop and crackle
    when he cooked them all with glee
    with his flaming red tongue for all to see

He loved to eat salty figs and grapes
    but his Dragon hands were much too big
    to pick them
So he used his crooked tail to swat them off

                  Swish-Swat
                          S w i s h  -  S w a t
                                    S  W  I  S  H  -  S  W  A  T  !!!

    and sticky tongue to eat them

He chortled fire from his nose
    every time he sneezed

              A  C  H  O...O...O...O...O...O  !!!!

His eyes would twirl and his ears would spin
He would try to smile as
             
                B i g
                          B  i  g
                                        B  I  G  !!

    as he pleased
    but his mouth couldn't grin for it was too thin
    from the smoke that made him cough and wheeze

Just on the outside of Tweedledee
    'twas the great and vast "Twee" ocean
    where Dumbledee

                Played           
    and
                          P l a y e d           
    and
                                    P  L  A  Y  E  D  !!!
   
He loved to splash and swim
    It drowned his fire for awhile
    so he could cool down within

He would travel to the Sea many

                      Miles
                              M I L E S
                                        M  I  L  E  S  !!
                               
    going to Tweedleydee
    just to be happy and free
 
Now in all the land of Tweedledee and Tweedledum
    Dumbledee roamed and scared everyone
His monsterous size made everyone run
and
                      Hide
                                H i d e
                                      H  I  D  E  !!!
'Til one day something wonderful was about to be done
    to bring joy to Dumbledee's lonely heart deep inside

On his usual walk down to the Twee Ocean he went
    to cool down his fire and play to his heart's content
He waddled and bobbled with such a noisy sound
    it made such a huge loud commotion
    his giant Dragon feet pounded the ground
              Boom
                              BOOM
                                            B O O O O  O M !!!!
      It sounded like gigantic, walloping  explosions!

It was such a strange sight - such a colossal FRIGHT!
    that all the little "Twees" and "Twums"
    from Tweedledee and Tweedledum would
          run
                R u n 
                          R  U  N  !
    with such a mighty speed
    that they jumped straight up in the air
    without a care
It was amazing - yes INDEED!

Then they started to
                        fall
                                F a l l
                                        F  A  L  L  !!!
    so fast and far below
                    they were Tweedledee Twumed
    to horribly land on their Twee little bums

but Dumbledee was there......
                      and caught them all in midair
                              one     
by
                                      O  n  e     
by
                                              O  N  E  !!!

He saved the day for all the "Twees" and "Twums"
    putting smiles all over their little faces
They even sprouted rainbows in their hair
    as they hugged him and squeezed him
    and gave him their favorite chewing gum

Dumbledee was a hero now  in the very best of places
He was so loved
                          L o v e d
                                      L OV E D !
                                              by everyone
he glowed like the Sun
As the friend and protector
Over the happy land of Tweedledeedum
