It’s quadrille Monday in the Dverse Lounge and Kim has us peppering our pages with 44 words exactly about pepper:
In the mythic isles of Mandalay
The cantor roars for raging joy
While dragons leap and play
As life is sung from day to day
Gogolongs and Dagereet,
Greet the morning eating all;
Natives walking in bare feet,
Salt and peppered for a treat.

Ah, Orlando would not long survive this kind of treatment of our tourists! Lots of fun and nicely done!
Thanks Charlie, Disney World would never be the same
There’s more to us than a mouse! It’s just goofy to think that….
I can’t believe I was raised in Miami and never took a cruise or went to Orlando
Well, until Wally showed up, there probably wasn’t much of a draw here. It’s a megalopolis now.
I think it’s wilder than Walt Disney could ever have perceived or believed. Still a cruise would be nice. They were giving away cruises to the Bahamas and Jamaica in the seventies for 29 or 39 dollars a night
You might never have come back. Or been aware that you had come back.
Eek!
Nice sound. I like those dancing dragons.
Thanks Frank. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Dragon Dance I’m not sure I want to. They might step on me
Thanks for the smile … and the lovely rhyming. Ah loves a good rhyme!
Me too thanks Beverly. I think I’m just easily amused
I savored the joy in this, especially the first stanza.
Thanks Victoria. I’ve never been out Beyond Mandalay. Got to go that way someday
My favourite – dragons! And they’re leaping and playing, salt and peppering!
Thanks Kim. They like the spice of life like us
Ooh, how inventive: “Gogolongs and Dagereet”
Thanks Estella, just couldn’t think of anything else that fir
This feels like summer 🙂
It’s been kind of summer is here, maybe that’s what made me think of it. Over 100 degrees is like dragon breath to me
It’s 11pm here and the outside temperature is 90°F. I hope the f***kers next door keep quiet so we can sleep with the windows wide open.
Bless you! I have a neighbor who just decided to chain his puppy out in the backyard until he rots I guess. That’s one of air conditioning’s great benefits, drowns out the noise
Why do people get a dog if it’s to keep it out of sight and out of mind? It was quiet here last night finally, except for the whirring of about a million air conditioning units 🙂
I think that the tourist trade will be shortlived if tourists are served to the dragons. Love the playfulness
Thanks Bjorn, dragons gotta eat too.
This sounds absolutely luscious. So many edible words….those mischievous dragons.
Tourists are good, a little salt, pepper and a good red wine
Let me start by putting on my shoes… This is such fun!
The delight in this is absolutely contagious!❤️
The dragons were delighted. The tourists started that way
I like this. Very zany. Amazing range of quadrilles tonight, this one is a delight!
Thanks Sarah, I just went crazy tonight
So fun to read Walter ~ Tourists, beware, smiles ~
Thanks Grace, take it with a grain of pepper though
Reads like a script for a David Lynch movie One must never trust dragons. especially; when riding in wagons.
I’ve never seen a dragon in a wagon
Witty poem, Walter!
Thanks Purple
Eek! Super fun poem reminiscent of Lewis Carroll. I read it aloud to my daughter.
Oh wow, thank you Nosaint! I hope she liked it
I enjoy any poem where a dragon is in play.
Their so sweet
Feed spiced up tourists to mythical dragons.. hmm… what a thought!!!!
I used to be a big camera bug. I would probably be eaten on the first click
Very entertaining, especially the salting and peppering of tourist cuisine – ha!
Yes, bland tourists are bad for your tummy
If I wear sandals will I be OK? Fun piece!
Sure, just neak around
Oh Walter…..you always make me smile! Those devilishly hungry dragons….I shall stay far away!
They get their meals from coach. You’ve got to go first class.
