Eugene and the Dragonfly

When Eugene climbed a mountain high

and wandered down a dale nearby,

he came upon Doug Dragonfly

asleep beside a Tiger’s eye.



Soon Eu was thinking “Now’s the time

to take a rest from my long climb

and waken Doug to tell him I’m

about to pick a bunch of thyme”.



But Doug was quite a grumpy guy 

when woken from his dream whereby 

he’s dancing with a Butterfly

in magic realms that mystify.



So Doug complained “My dream's now gone

of dancing to the carillon

with Butterflies upon the lawn,

which won’t come back until I yawn.”



Then Eugene said “Well I know what!

A mug of tea and hazelnuts

served with a chocolate Buttercup

will surely help to cheer you up!”



Thereafter, picking tufts of thyme,

they heard the distant bluebells chime

and watched the Fairies pantomime 

and dance till Eugene’s suppertime.
