A Lesson Well Learned
Dragon had got himself in trouble…. Obviously… Not unforeseen!
He jumped out and scared some little kids in the spirit of Halloween.
He said it wasn’t his fault; Dragons are so scary, giving a little snort.
Now this was after supper and the nights were, quickly getting short.
He stomped off, in the twilight, thru the woods, looking for rapport.
But it quickly changed into, what you’d say, was a foggy, misty sort!
Wind started blowing ominously around him, as a tree suddenly…
Fell… close by… shaking him to his core… so very incredibly…
Then an owl flew by so close… Most suddenly… barely missing…
Dragons’ face! He leaped back, shivering and sighing, with misgivings.
Immediately, he spun around, in his panicked haste… OH! Did I forget?
That it was the night before All Hollows Eve? He was being beset?
Now lost, and turned around, from this normally, well-trodden path…
The fog set in, so very close! As a loud howl came, from some goliath…
From out of the thin air, behind him… Fear became within him, very rife!
He was alone, and started running for his, ever loving, itty, bitty, LIFE!!!
But where the ba-gibbas was he going? It was anybodies, now, to guess!
Finally coming to a roaring stop, by tripping over some unseen rock! Yes!
He then looked up to see, an old, eerie, abandoned, broken down, building.
It’s feel… sent chills up his spine! As he trembled with a fear, so chilling.
As the moon, momentarily, peeked out of the clouds… It seemed trapped…
In a clawing, and clinging, evil mist! Not to mention! The mist changed…
Into a torrential, cold, pouring rain! It was too much, holding him in shock!
Run away, or to the building? Drown, or be consumed by evil? A deadlock!
A river now ran behind him, eerily pushing him, forward. How tragic!
He, now, felt himself in the grip of some Deep Dark unmovable Magic!
What, was he to do! Why was the house getting Closer? Even though…
He was frozen and standing quite still!!! OH… NO!!! OH! NO!!!!
He could see, his life running before his eyes, in unbelievable panic!
He was sure he’d meet his end here, on All Hollows Eve, he was manic!
As he was almost delivered to the house… He prayed, and declared!
“He’d never scare little children, for a Halloween prank, again” If spared!
Suddenly, he was released… and the path shone… bright, and clean…
His life was finally his, again!!! Everything gone in a blink!!! So keen!
He ran all the way home with glee! His lesson was thoroughly learned!
And somewhere behind a tree the Elven King and Grandpa Troll…
Shook hands, on a job well done… And a lesson well learned…
The moral of this story: Do unto others, as you want them to do unto you!
And NEVER anger an Elven King and Grandpa Troll with deeds, you did do.
The End and Happy Halloween!
