alligators, crocs/ dragons

You know when I am feeling sort of blah, I like to try and  laugh, I find my brain goes into weird and sometimes strange scenarios.  Then I meet someone who helps me get there. That would be my friend Gloom, I am Doom.

We were on a roll the other day, and this is what came out of it.

HCVers always call the virus the dragon, not so much maybe because of the dragon, but because of the warriors who fight and destroyed the dragon to myth status.  There is something so heroic about the visual of the young warrior sword in hand (needles) plunging it deep into the one and only soft spot under the  belly of a dragon, killing it.

In my mind dragons even when at the most dangerous, were beautiful.
Their underbellies were always jewel incrusted, beautiful to see as the warrior stood ready to make his/her stand.

I have always loved the idea of Dragons,  in my youth I loved fantasy books,  the dragons I always loved were  intelligent, The Dragon Riders of Pern, and come on, how about Sean Connerys dragon, can I get an amen ladies? Meows!  

I do think we are the warriors, but I think alligators are more like the virus.

Now think about this, alligators, sink into the marsh, hide in weeds,  like the virus in our blood,  they slither through water and the virus through our blood.  

You do not know they are there, not like the dragon you can see in the sky and run fast!

Even their skin, is dry, cracked only beautiful when changed into a purse or a pair of shoes!  (This just happened to showed up on QVC as we spoke)

No, the alligator is sneaky, conniving, ugly, its huge teeth waiting to shred you to death!

The virus waits also, its big teeth waiting to snap at you, slowly a piece of you at a time.  The old dragon just blasts you with one fiery breath, and your toast!

The Alligator or Croc did have the Croc Hunter, and there are new hunters now stepping up to take his place, just as with all the new meds.  

So I would like to put out there this new idea, the HCV gator, its big ugly smelly, yellow teeth is the virus,  lurking to eat us.

I maintain we  let the Dragon maintain his dignity!

Hey Deb, Amen to the Sean Connery/Dragon Analogy! I am apparently not alone in the meanderings of my mind. I've been asked, on many occasions, "where do you, (I), come up with this stuff"? I would not be surprised to find that you are also one of the cloud shape finders. On the same train of thought;  Dragons are mythical, crocs and gators are real. Crocs and gators are know to eat pets and children, while dragons are the subjects of folklore and artistic expression, (including body art, ie.,tattoos.). And then what's not to love about the frolicking 'Puff'? I have nothing against crocs or gators, but definitely prefer the concept of dragons maintaining their dignity, (sorry, Bindi). Wassup
