Dragon Stew Edited

“Dragon stew! “I exclaim “Oh what a funny name There is no such thing as dragons Aunt T So dragon stew simply just can’t be” Aunt T laughs and then she winks “Well it’s a long story she says but I think If you listen well you will understand the tale” The story goes like this. There is a boy about your age Who went to bed and did not pray In the night he got a scare A terrible fright from a horrible nightmare The Lord keeps him safe from all harm Because God loves children still the boy is alarmed He shouts out loud to Mr. Nightmare man “Stay out of my house my sleep my land” Nightmare man laughs so For he can steal the boys sleep and kill the boys hope Making the boy tired and weak Nightmare man is able to steal joy Never again would be the happy boy. Nightmare man retorts “Your sleep belongs to me And when you don’t pray I leap With joy at another soul that may be mine in a decade or so” “You can’t have my soul I belong to me and I am bold” The boy says with such a vain That Nightmare man laughs and laughs till pain and says “Bold are you is that a fact where is your army of men For if you want your soul back you must slay a dragon to win Unless that is you are a weak little scared cat Which deep in your heart I say you are that!" "I am not!" with anger boy shouts "Where is the dragon bring it here now?!" Then with a big boom a red dragon appears in the room It is so tall and huge the boy’s eyes fill with fear and gloom He tries to fight it throwing toys and dodging it With speed the boy narrowly escapes Running into the closet where boy begins to pray "Lord I repent from being vain Forgive me Lord and help me change" The dragonfly buzzed around quick Still the boy did not kill it For the Lord saved and blessed the boy Who believes in the power of prayer of course The little boy is happy and the dragonfly lives For the Lord will slay your dragon blessing you and it. 2/15/2021
