A behemoth of fire and rage Red scales glimmering with the potential for death Its absurd cries of evil shatter empires Its unjust breath of malice devours lives So comes forth a shining knight A star descended from the heavens An answered wish to the denizens of mankind And with a sword gleaming with an altruistic ego He cuts down the dragon, and rightfully so And just reward does follow this magnanimous deed, Maidens and praise and- a fated car horn I awake- and with the reflexes of a knight Catch my book as it slips my grip Smiling, I find my page Just as the not-so-chivalrous Knight Slew the not-so-fearsome Dragon and if for moments more I live on as a knight Content with well-worn pages if not Maidens and praise.
