Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #258. The prompt
word is ‘scale’. This is my limerick.
A dragon went out for some pampering fare.
“Please file my nails with the greatest of care!
They are really quite long,
Chipped and cracked … it’s just wrong!
And my scales should be polished with flair!”

I was thinking about timing my nails today and your post just gave me the incentive that I needed. Nancy.

You might want to try going to a nail salon, Jim. A few of my guy friends enjoy relaxing with a pedicure and getting their fingernails trimmed. It’s not just for women anymore! And you might meet a nice girl there 😉

I do get my toenails clipped at the nail salon, but the girls that work there are all Vietnamese, and it is hard to understand what they are saying.

I love your limerick and that Dragon picture, and I love writing about ‘Dragons”, Nancy … my YouTube channel is playing up at the moment, so I’ll send you a ‘Dragon Poem’ instead …
My Dragon, Frozen In Time
My Dragon has been treated harshly
For his mischievous nine crimes
He was cruelly chained in poison ivy
And mystically frozen in time
I am allowed to ship him back home
Encased in a huge wooden box
In a straw-lined crate he looked like a giant gnome
We set sail around Cape Horn towards the land of shamrocks
I am hoping, a return to his homeland
Might snap my Dragon out of his ice-age state
There atop the cliffs of the Isle of Aran
With the roaring Atlantic winds to thaw his scaly breastplate
