A doggerel series
about odd or little-known animals.
The flying dragon occurs in
southern India and Southeast Asia. This includes the Philippine Islands and
Borneo. The species prefers rain forests and tropical areas that can
provide adequate number of trees that the lizard can use for jumping and
gliding. Read more: http://www.strangeanimals.info/2014/12/draco-volans-real-life-dragon.html#ixzz4TQVFPXrC
“Wow! I can fly!” he told his
mom,
Who—trying, trying—stayed so calm.
“Well, sort of fly,” his mom
replied.
“But really all you do is glide.”
“Well, that’s more fun than standing pat!”
Her son announced in nothing flat.
He glided from the tallest tree
And landed, well, right next to me.
“You should be scared!” the dragon roared.
While I was acting kind of bored.
“I’ll write about you in my blog!
But, yo, you aren’t exactly Smaug!”
And so he slinked, depressed, away.
You must be careful what you say.
(To little dragons.)
(They’re sensitive.)
