Another Poem. Adam and the Dragon. I’m sick of Covid.
Sun 7:47 pm +01:00, 14 Feb 2021 3Adam and the Dragon
The smoke from the breath of the dragon of death
Hung like a shroud round the boat they were sailing
Grown men, some brave men just sat there hands shaking
Children were crying, women were wailing
Take me said Adam but please leave the rest
They are people from round here fathers and mothers
Don’t destroy families, do the right thing
Take me if you want, but please leave the others.
The dragon just hung there suspended in space
A thunder built up in it’s breast
It seemed to consider the words of young Adam
Take me but please leave the rest
He was drawn to the dragon as if in a dream
He awoke, and he somehow felt free
A man just like Adam was right by his side
Come Adam there are things you must see
He was shocked by the roar as the dragon took wing
Ever so steeply did it then soar
Five G’s said the man, but he couldn’t understand
He just knew he was held on the floor
On and on up till the planet was gone
They were carried on out into space
Adam was stunned at the things that he saw
The man laughed at the look on his face
Over there said the man, that is the sun
It’s third planet is where we are bound
We’re calling it earth, it’s a wonderful place
We’ll soon have your feet on the ground
I’ve found you a wife who you’ll soon find you love
You’ll start off a new human race
I bless you and your wife, and you will have children
They’ll populate this beautiful place
What’s your name called out Adam, as this man was just leaving
So if we meet I can give you a nod
Godfrey he shouted with a wink and a wave
But most folks just call me God.
Ian.
Sorry Tap.
Cheery in the face of destructive forces – very apt.
I know Tap, pathetic really.
