Dragon Dawn...
Dragon's breath tainted with gold
a piece of fair maid in his teeth.
Snoring lightly, blowing smoke rings
resembling holiday wreaths.
Green and bronze scales, so pretty
burnished by the sun,
glisten in the dawn of tomorrow
seeing his enemies run.
Awaken, continue your terror,
stretch your wings out and fly
Scorch the earth, make it ashes
seeing your enemy's cry
Black are the shadows of flight,
wings that quiver and float,
winging over the castle,
see the bridge down over the moat.
Merlin has taken vacation,
Sir Arthur is beating back trolls
Take advantage of the situation,
this dragon is on a great roll.
Toothpick lances of heroes
bloody slivers of wood,
As a day in the life of a dragon,
this one's particularly good.
