rocketships and dragons
rocketships and dragons
The boy sits in his small school desk tapping, a rolling of all fingers, a drumming-marching-rolling motion, in beat to an imaginary army. He squirms in his chair. The teacher’s voice drones on as the boy daydreams to the moon and back, visions of little Jackie Paper and his pal Puff, on billowed wings. . . and other fancy stuff dance in his head . . . . “Jamie! . . . . .Jamie, Are you listening?” “What . . . . Yes Mrs. Jones.” “Oh . . . . the answer is eight. . . . four plus two is eight.” “Yes. . . . . I will pay attention next time” A ratta-tat-tat-tapping again, a wiggling-jiggling-shaking, his leg’s in motion as the teachers voice fades into the sound of the rocket blasting off. . . . blasting off to a day-dreamy journey to the moon. . . . June 30, 2003

Puff the Magic Dragon....a GREAT song....I would much rather day dream to that song and ratta-tat-tat and fade out than listen to a teacher any time....I LOVE it....4 + 2 = 8
 In fact, I DID often.....in school.....and often got caught off guard by the teacher....  Thanks James...very creative....

The 4 + 2 was a mistake, I guess it fits though.
