Once more we return to the Royal Court of King ArtR in Coinalot.
The King is surrounded by his Royal Council and the usual conglomeration
of advisers, wits, half wits, dim wits, numbnuts, twits, nitwits and of course
Sir Marty the Mad and the Royal Knights.
King ArtR : What hath the Lord of the Royal Treasury to report on the financial
state of the Kingdom?Sir Percy Thespool?
Sir Percy : Thire, we have good news and we have bad news.
King ArtR : A bit of a speech impediment, eh what Sir Percy?
Sir Percy : What impediment might that be thire?
King Art : Never mind Sir Percy, your report.
Sir Percy : Well thire, housing values are down but foreclosure are up.
Gold and thilver are down but food is up.
The cost of gath is up but employment is down.
Further good newth is that inflation is only up by 2%.
King ArtR : By Jove, every up is balanced by a down. I say well done Sir Percy.
: Bye the Bye Sir Percy, how is the COLA kept?
Sir Percy : The Cola is kept in the Fridge Thire.
King Art : Not the drink you simpering dunderhead, I mean the Cost of Living Index.
Sir Percy : Well Thire, we take all the items out of the Index that are going up. Then we
Replathe them with items that are stable or are going down. Ath examples, we
removed food and gath and replaced them with rocks, sand, sludge and smog.
King ArtR : Oh I say that is smashing Sir Percy. Nothing better for the Kingdom then having a tight
Grip on inflation. Now, what is this item in the budget under the heading ,Coinosaurus Rex?
Sir Percy : Ahh , Thire, that would be the matter of the Dwagon, Coinosaurus Rex. It includes the
cost of his depwedations and of his appwehension. He appears to be a vewy clever and
intelligent dwagon.
Sir John
of Curlis : Oh Pshaw! Respectfully submitted!
Sir Ricko : I am all atwitter with expectations!
King ArtR : Oh Guards, please take this brace of jokesters to yon tower and the Catapult of Doom.
Since the Bay of E is rather brisk, what say we pour a little oil on these miscreants and
light them on their way. Nothing like a display of fireworks and a few screams to brighten
ones' day.
Now, to continue Sir Percy. What in heavens name is a Dwagon.
Sir Percy : Thire, a Dwagon is a cweature about 100 feet long, with scales, wings and claws. It has
a wather long tail and a most sour disposithon.
In the distance is heard two heart rendering screams, aiiiiiiiiiiiihh!.......arghhhhhhhhh!
King ArtR : Nothing like good sturdy screams in the morning and the smell of burnt well oiled jokesters,
It smells like................VICTORY! Now, to get back to this Dwag.....dragon issue Sir Percy.
I thought that we had eliminated this noxious vermin from the Kingdom, in my fathers' time?
Sir CoinLt, Commander of the Royal Guard and Keeper of Secrets by Snooping and Spying,
What have ye to report! How many peasants has this vexing creature devoured from among
the inhabitants of my realm?
Sir CoinLt : Sire, the Dragon hath not devoured a single peasant.
King ArtR : Zounds what an unholy beast. You mean to inform me, that my peasants are not considered
worthy of being devoured by this dragon? Harumph!
Sir CoinLt : Sire, apparently Coinosaurus Rex is a ....gasp......vegetarian.
He hath stolen and devoured fresh baked bread and hot gruel placed out
on the window sills, by peasants, to cool. In addition, the dragon hath removed
books from the Royal Libraries and they are now sorely overdue. It has also been
reported that Coinosaurus Rex hath had his way with the Kingdom's comely
wenches, by sweeping in on them and stealing a smooch!
King ArtR : Such conduct can not be tolerated. Sir CoinLt, I command you to lead forth the Royal Knights.
Locate and confront this Dragon Coinosaurus Rex and return him to the Castle dead or alive.
I will serve justice on this most foul and vile disturber of the tranquility of my realm.
So ends part 2 of this amazing Tale. Stay tuned as the Royal Knights sally forth to confront and capture
the Dragon Coinosaurus Rex. Will the price of this TALE, be the Tail of the Dragon? Stay tuned to this
same station, same time same bat cave for Part 3 of the Tale of Coinosaurus Rex.

Great suspense building, bear.

I'm not sure what that means.
I have found power in the mysteries of thought.
It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.
Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

John Curlis had it coming. You can't be too polite in Coinalot.
Remember how our favorite ursine was continually being filled with holes. This should be a lesson to all of us.
I wouldn't worry too much about Ricko. He seems pretty resilient.

Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
have seemed to taken total control of
the story. I as the author, have no idea
where this story is going or when it will end.
For all I know, the story line could go on for
ever. Anyway, part 3 will be on line in an hour.
