George the Dragon
George The Dragon was alone and sad
Ashamed because of a problem he had
And because it caused embarrassment
To a far away country George was sent
He told his situation to a merry old toad
Who he met while walking along a road
I cannot breathe fire - not like the rest
It does not matter which food I digest
I can only breathe clouds - bearing rain
The toad said - George, why complain?
You will always be welcome in our land
As you can see - there is only the sand
So George The Dragon decided to stay
And keeps the rivers filled - to this day
