Not Quite Uccello
It didn’t look quite like
the dragon
of “Saint George and the
Dragon”
by Paolo Uccello—mean,
green,
agile and musclebound,
rather the opposite, pale
purple,
cartoonish, clunky and
ridiculous.
The paddle boat my two
sisters
and I rode on in Ventura
harbor
contrasted significantly
with the catamarans and
yachts
in the harbor. We had a
blast
pedaling away past all the
boats
and docks with barking
seals
and coyote statues
standing guard.
We joked about being lost
in the open ocean and the
headlines
that would appear in the
Ventura
County Star–Coastguards
Rescues
Three Sisters in Purple
Dragon.
Thank You that no such
thing happened,
the only embarrassment
being
a boatload of college boys
laughing and cheering.
So fun!—Thank You, Lord!
