Inside the writer's brain

[jhetley]

(Not a safe place.)

So David's sitting in a canoe in the marsh, listening to Khe'sha teach the dragon chants to his nestlings. Once the nestlings know their history, Khe'sha can allow himself to die. It's that pair-bond thing with his dead mate Sha'khe again.

So David is thinking, "How do you treat a dragon for depression?"

But his brain keeps setting the words to "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

Any filkers want to have at it?

"How do you treat a dragon for depression?
How do you make his blues turn upside-down?
How do you help a dragon with depression?
A fellow-with-the-dark-blues dragon who's got a frown?"

Not great, I know, but it came to me. *blush*

Oh, and one big hint for helping that depressed dragon:

Don't. Sing. "Puff the Magic Dragon". Ever.

(One of the most depressing childhood songs on record, yet strangely one I still like.)
