A Poem For Tegan (Thanks For The Dragon)

by @nigel-finn

Sometimes I meet, With art so sweet, It almost turns me vegan, A piece of meat, Could not compete, With a painting done by Tegan. Sometimes it seems, She paints my dreams, Or as close as anyone can, If I had to choose, Between this or booze, I'd be a sober man. I'd feel such grief, With no relief, If she chose to give up paintin' And I'd fill the hole, Inside my soul, With whiskey and with bacon.

Notes

A wonderful friend of mine, who's also an amazing artist, sent me an amazing painting she created of a purple griffin-winged, ram-horned dragon befriending a mouse. Mice are OK, but I really, REALLY love dragons (don't give me that look - dragons are cool, OK?) and her artwork is truly exceptional.

I'd forgot that I'd even written this until recently when I stumbled back across an old video I made as she was many, many miles away at the time, and I wanted her to know how excited I was about it. I still am quite excited about it to be honest - it's a freakin' DRAGON!!!
