[Tracey Neal]

I'm going to have to go with Puff the Magic Dragon.

Hello Scott=) I'm singing this for you=)....

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh!

(Chorus, twice)

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh!

(Chorus)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!

(Chorus, softly)
(Chorus, loudly) ...........I love Puff the magic dragon too=)

Well considering that my daughters name is Phoenix.

I would have to go with Phoenix. I am quite taken with fairies too and the Irish in me would have to go with Lucky Charm.


But what really gets me is any greek god. (I love greek mythology) if it really was a myth.

I guess this is silly but even though I'm not religious, I've always had a secret place in my heart for angels.

I too love the Greek myths - but that could be a whole new thread.
Did Medusa have the original "Bad hair day" ? But my vote (today) goes to The Jabberwock

I totally dig on Medusa...she was a bit of a bad ass in Clash of the Titans...slither'in around with that bow..I love when she draws her bow back and then rattles her tail...girl knew how to shake her tail feather that movie is pretty old but I love watching it

And yeah she had the really.. really "bad hair day" thing going down, her hair bites..if you know what I mean

I would have to say a pegasus ... I guess I am still a little girl at heart who dreams of being swept away by a flying horse

My all time favorite is The Jabberwocky:



JABBERWOCKY

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

[KaeMartyndale]

Haha! who doesn't love Lewis Carroll? Selected Shorts (a short story program on NPR aired John Lithgow reciting jabberwocky a few weeks back. You can download the podcast from their site =) it's definitely worth while)
