The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread LIII
Soaring Feather and Poets of The Lair | June 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

My Dragon Fly and Me



If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

NEW AIRLINE RULES

 

Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala Carte Air, sir. May I see your ticket?

 

Passenger: Sure.

 

Attendant: You're in seat 12B.. That will be $5, please!

 

Passenger: What for?

 

Attendant: For telling you where to sit.

 

Passenger: But I already knew where to sit.

 

Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat locator fee of $5.

It's the airline's new policy.

 

Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it.

 

Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not?

 

Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this.

 

Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy.

Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you?

 

Passenger: That would be swell, thanks.

 

Attendant: No problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, please.

 

Passenger:  What?

 

Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee.

 

Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it.

 

Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to sit,

And fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate. But, first I need that $10.

 

Passenger:  No way!

 

Attendant:  Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call the air marshal.

And you really don't want me to do that.

 

Passenger:  Why not? Is he going to shoot me?

 

Attendant:  No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee..

 

Passenger:  Oh, all right, here, take the $10. I can't believe this.

 

Attendant:  Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you?

 

Passenger:  Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work. Can you fix it?

 

Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two quarters into the

Overhead coin slot for the first five minutes.

 

Passenger:  The airline is charging me for cabin air?

 

Attendant:  Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of charge.

It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents.

 

Passenger:  I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a dollar?

 

Attendant:  Certainly, sir! Here you go!

 

Passenger:  But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar.

 

Attendant: Yes, there's a change making fee of 25 cents.

 

Passenger:  For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter?

What the heck can I do with this?

 

Attendant:  Hang onto it. You'll need it later for the lavatory.

Good morning, everyone!

Behold the chariot of the Fairy Queen!
Saw but the fairy pageant,
The Fairy's frame was slight--yon fibrous cloud,
As that which, bursting from the Fairy's form,
The Fairy Queen descended,
FAIRY, FAIRY, FAIRY
'I am the Fairy MAB: to me 'tis given
The Fairy and the Soul proceeded;
Within the Fairy's fane.
The Fairy and the Spirit


Percy Blythe Shelley

To: Soaring Feather; All

Do you seek the road to Fairyland.....

I'll tell; it's easy, quite.

Wait till a yellow moon gets up

O'er purple seas by night,

And gilds a shining pathway

That is sparkling diamond bright

Then, if no evil power be nigh

To thwart you, out of spite,

And if you know the very words

To cast a spell of might,

You get upon a thistledown,

And, if the breeze is right,

You sail away to Fairyland

Along this track of light.

Ernest Thompson Seton
