Dragon Holiday

Dragon Holiday (Be careful what you eat) Dad and I went hunting on giant’s mountain They sleep for hours at a time so we climb kinda sneaky Crawl real slow over their big arms and limbs And noses that snore louder than the wind Our hunger grew as we entered dragon valley We had our sights set on a baby one They are easy to catch and put in a bundle bag We charm them with a cookie and a smile I had dragon burgers on my mind They say the tail is tender and delicious We love it with cranberries on the table with side dishes A young blue dragon galloped up to us and spoke He said his name was Teddy I said, my name is Dave. This is my dad And what a coincidence! I have a bear at home called Teddy Would you like to join us for Thanksgiving Dinner? Another coincidence popped up They too have a holiday the same as us And call it, The Celebration of Breathing Fire His mom and dad said yes to dinner But we couldn't put him in a bundle bag As dragons don’t like to suffocate We were so happy to find our talking friend called Teddy That we could no longer think of serving him as food Next to the turkey or even as a side dish Because he was so polite and oh so civil We simply had him as our guest for dinner The moral to my story is Eat your dinner but don’t eat your friends The end Created on 10/18/14 for- Fable to the Rescue – Poetry Contest
