DSG Prompt for February 2026
This was my third night in a row. Boy was I tired.
Landon Taylor handled the hosting duties in Matt Grigsby’s absence. There weren’t as many participants this night. Perhaps I wasn’t the only one with an active weekend.
Despite the moderate attendance, the songs were wonderful.
After the prompt-songs were performed, there were extended festivities and even more performances, but I was spent. So I scurried home early.
But I scurried with a smile.

The prompt for the February 2026 meetup was, “You think I’m lying”.
I wrote an absurdist fantasy tale entitled, “The Song of the Slothly Dragon”.
An Absurdist Fantasy Tale:
You say you think I’m lying
but I think that you’re projecting
though I do not pretend to think I know
Your brain’s an object that
sincerely does elude me
break the curtain between
you and what you show
You’re a blowhard, Dunning Kruger
with no regard for the outcome
of your deeds
We try to give you all the validation
to sate your never-ending needs
You’re buttered bluster
sitting naked on a steed
lancing truthfulness while
we all watch it bleed
a slothly dragon
perched on a pile of greed
Dark magicians cursed the people of this map
a slothly dragon in a diaper and a cap
grotesque and bloated with stubby little wings
belching spite and hoarding all the things
We think you’re lying yet
we’ll take you at your face
The dirt in your eye
was already in place
Someone is getting bent
if I might say it chaste
We could’ve had a moment
This is happy gone to waste
There’s a glow emanating
from the cavern
all the goblets and
the coins and the jewels
Hear the chittering of
its sycophantic minions
bottom feeing leeching
pustulent fools
You’re buttered bluster
sitting naked on a steed
lancing truthfulness while
we all watch it bleed
a slothly dragon
perched on a pile of greed
Dark magicians cursed the people of this map
a slothly dragon in a diaper and a cap
grotesque and bloated with stubby little wings
belching spite and hoarding all the things
You’re buttered bluster
sitting naked on a steed
lancing truthfulness while
we all watch it bleed
a slothly dragon
perched on a pile of greed
a slothly dragon
perched on a pile of greed
