Barbara Gorelick Poet Couplet

A Dragon a Day

Why are there so many dragons to slay?
I seem to meet one or two each day....

My shinning knight never came to protect me
From me, not the dragon, he wanted to flee...

My sword and I make a pitiful sight
We're old and tarnished, to tired to fight...

I think about making the dragon my friend
Its probably the safest plan in the end...

Just how do you make peace with a dragon?
May I'll take him peach pies in my wagon
                             ( sorry, not much rhymes with wagon)

This medieval  tale is pretty much a big mess
My poor old muse wrote it, I have to confess..


I couldn't come up with anything great for the contest..so just wrote something silly..
(not an entry)

Carrie Richards August 16, 2013 at 2:16 PM Silly, perhaps??!! But just what I needed today, when my own dragons are draggin' !!! Loved the tongue in cheek admissions..........we share a lack of muse from time to time!! So cute, with whimsy!!
