    • There are no words to describe the utter stupidity and self centredness of those that voted for Mr Trump.They have put at risk their own democracy by electing Trump et al to govern.
      Biden wasn’t perfect, no body is, but at least he had American interests at heart.
      Your poem reminded me that there is still hope ….🙏

      • Thank you. We can only hope that enough of us wake up and take our country back. We need the Supremes to do the right thing, too — a tough job, but it shouldn’t be.

    The Dragon’s Lair

    Β© 2025Β The Dragon’s LairBy FlatDaddyΒ If you squinted a little, Waco, Texas in 1955 looked quite like one of those quaint, almost country big towns, you’d see on the cover of β€œThe Saturday Evening Post.” It was a quiet Baptist...

    • Okay, I was the older sibling, and I would never do something like that to my sister. Sure, we fought but that was normal. To make you believe he was taken by someone and hurt or killed was mean. Good story

      • True story, too. And boys are very different — at least in Texas, at least in military families. Larry now is a very gentle man who would do anything for me — or anyone else, for that matter. Thanks for your comments.

    • What doesn’t kill ya makes you tougher? While we didn’t have a lair like yours, our favorite swimming hole had raw sewage draining into it. I love these kinds of tales, as you know. An entertaining story, for certain.

      • Thanks, Sam, as always, though I’ll never catch up to you. But I have become a tough old bird over all these years. Doesn’t keep me from squawking now and then, though.

    • This story started out funny but by the end it got sad and dark … Indeed, a story of true friendship. One friend wanted the other to hear him and the deaf friend wanted to find the other in the desert.
      I found it funny how the devil-coyote spoke with a Texan accent, too! πŸ˜€

      Al

      • I used to have an audio of this one, but it disappeared. I hope you got my reply to your comment about Rabbit Jack; I ;eft a link to an Audio version so you can hear the accent.

        By the way, the coyote didn’t speak that way; Cooter is telling the story, so it is him you hear. πŸ™‚
