The Day the Dragons Won the Lottery

The day the dragonry won the lottery               

they got staggery, swiggery, blotto-ry,

ziggery-zaggery, teetery, tottery,

proudly swaggery,

draggery flaggery,

loudly braggery. Rich or what-ery?

When the dragonry won the lottery.

Oops! A snaggery...Oh no nottery!

Just a tenner is all they gottery.

What a calamity! Sniffery snottery.

This is most certainly not what it ought to be.

Cursery, slaggery, weepery, watery.

Utterly agony. Heckery! Rottery!

When the dragonry won the lottery.

"I can still see Hassan up on that tree, sunlight flickering through the leaves on his almost perfectly round face, a face like a Chinese doll chiseled from hardwood: his flat, broad nose and slanting, narrow eyes like bamboo leaves, eyes that looked, depending on the light, gold, green, even sapphire. I can still see his tiny low-set ears, and that pointed stub of a chin, a meaty appendage that looked like it was added as a mere afterthought."
