Once Upon a Dragon Time

Once Upon A Dragon Time Once upon a time two thousand years ago It might have been yesterday I’m not that sure. I’m only five And just learning how to count My dragon Lucy… Let’s say she’s toothless (but don’t tell her) And only eats chicken soup without the chicken She has her reasons Lucy has fears of everything including flying You see she is also only five and prefers walking She tells me she has no license for the sky And her land license just expired When I jump up on her back she trembles As we stumble through the forest green When jumping off the cliff near Pleasantville She cries, she pleads for help and screams I tell her not to worry My magic wand will save us In reality it is just a stick I hope Lucy doesn't see the trick As she lifts her pretty blue head and wings We sing together on the happy wind And wonder where to go Our parents don’t know where we are Both of us are getting hungry As for me, I’m starved I told Lucy I want a steak She smiled back and said How about some tasty soup Some nice hot poetry soup Made by friendly forest fairies Just then we landed on a nearby roof A perfect landing on a perfect day Created 7/11/14 for - Children’s Fable poetry contest
