Dragon

Dragon
Uther of the dragon pen
Sought Merlins advice
How to kill the dragon then
St George had done it thrice
The magic lance the sword of steel
The arrow poisoned too
To starve her from a cattle meal
To pierce her through and through
Harald one eye came to beg
What reward would Uther post
Dark of night broke Dragon egg
Till Zinnger was a ghost

Good, imaginative write. Mystics and dragons make a good mix!
