Chapter 3 3

I said, "I'll take the T-bone steak." A soft voice mooed, "Oh wow." And I looked up and realized The waitress was a cow. I cried, "Mistake--forget the the steak. Ill take the chicken then." I heard a cluck--twas just my luck The busboy was a hen. I said, "Okay no, fowl today. I'll have the seafood dish." Then I saw through the kitchen door The cook—he was a fish. I screamed, "Is there anyone working here Who's an onion or a beet? No? Yourre sure? Okay then friends, A salads what Ill eat." They looked at me. "Oh, no," they said,

"The owner is a cabin head." Tell me Im clever, Tell me Im kind, Tell me Im talented, Tell me Im cute, Tell me Im sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me Im perfect- But tell me the truth. This bridge will only take you halfway there To those mysterious lands you long to see: Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs And moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share The twisting trails and wondrous worlds Ive known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there- The last few steps you'll have to take alone. Im the Dragon of Grindly Grun,

I breathe fire as hot as the sun. When a knight comes to fight I just toast him on sight, Like a hot crispy cinnamon bun. When I see a fair damsel go by, I just sigh a fiery sigh, And shed baked like a tater- I think of her later With a romantic tear in my eye. Im the Dragon of Grindly Grun, But my lunches arent very much fun, For I like my damsels medium rare, and they always come out well done. Have you been to the land of happy, Where everyones happy all day, Where they joke and they sing Of the happiest things, And everything jolly and gay? Theres no one unhappy in Happy

Theres laughter and smiles galore. I have been to The Land of Happy- what a bore
