Dragon Misunderstanding
Dragon, on a little trip
to visit friends, let it slip that,
we’d gotten him a pup and
he had named it, Mr. Mup.
Now the neighborhood dragon-kind,
In front of our house, formed a line.
They wanted pups of their own;
thought that we breed them in our home.
They’ve all went yup-pup-berserk;
they got bored while waiting and
started to “twerk”.
Neighbor lady, Mrs. Nash, a respectable church clerk,
says “they were obscene jerks”.
There amid the dragon green;
the boys in blue, could be seen;
arresting dragons, right and left;
into paddy wagons, went their heft!
The dragons, they committed no crime
but, we’ve been ticketed, for “deceptive measures” and fined.
Such an action we didn’t take;
this was all Dragon’s mistake.
They claimed we invited them to adopt a pup;
That we “deceived them”; freedom they gave up.
We had to pay off all their bail,
just to get them out of jail.
Our dragon set it all aright;
it made the news that very night.
Do you know what the townsfolk did,
they bought each dragon his very own pup;
convinced them all to give “twerking” up!
