MAGICAL DRAGONS

The sun was starting to set,
when I looked up and saw the Dragons
Queen Rose and her Princess,
spent their days looking for unwanted and orphans pets

They carefully pick up Kitties, Dogs, Bunnies, in their large floppy claws
and bring them back to Castle to live and be cared for, by the
Celtic faeries

I patted them and scratched their horns, I had a pocket of treats,
which I shared

Magical Dragons with the warmest hearts

Up they flew to the turrets of the Irish Castle

THE IRISH CASTLE

I grew up in a storybook neighborhood
I would pass the Irish Castle on my way to school
The South side of Chicago, a beautiful old area, filled with homes and buildings
100 to 200 years old

This Irish neighborhood has many large homes, and it was common to see families with 8 to 10 children
But the Castle was always my favorite house

I have heard all the stories about the Castle
A famous Chicago children's program called Garfield Goose with Frazier Thomas
Was the first story I heard from my parents, so it was Garfield Goose's Castle

When I got close to my teen years, I heard the Romantic Story
An Irish Gentleman, came to the area to settle and built the Castle as a home for his bride
But his bride unfortunately died on the ship ride over to the states, so sad.

For years I would pass the Castle and sneak up and peek in the windows
looking for Fairies, I would quickly run off afraid, that an armored knight might burst out the door!


Here let me get comfortable, and I will tell you my story of the Irish Castle
I see the Dragons flying over-head up to the turrets

More story to come next time, I have to go pet the Dragons!
