Today at RDP, we are asked to share a story,
poem, photo, painting, essay, etc., focusing
on the word ‘reptilian’. Here’s my take.
This morning, as I gazed out my rear window sipping my freshly ground Colombian beans, I chuckled as the chipmunks and squirrels playfully raced around the yard. The little guys always seem to be having so much fun. But as I watched, one of the critters looked oddly different and I did a double take when I realized it was actually running around on its two back legs! I reached for my binoculars for a better look and gasped at what I saw. This new visitor to my backyard was not a cute, furry creature; no, it had a definite reptilian look. In fact, it resembled a mini Godzilla! Was I dreaming? Was something in my coffee causing hallucinations? Just then I heard sounds of loud thumping and the house started vibrating. An angry roar convinced me all was not right in my peaceful neighborhood this morning. And that’s when I saw it …. Mama Godzilla looming over my arborvitae, no doubt searching for her baby! Grabbing my phone and keys, I made a mad dash for my car. Time to get out of Dodge! I saw the approaching helicopters as I was pulling out of my driveway. I sure hope I can get far enough away before things get ugly!

The world has gone crazier, with another Godzilla on the loose, we need “Rocky and Bullwinkle” (The Moose) to save the day, Nancy. I’m listening to Lake of Tears at the moment …
