Fireless Dragon

Listen to poem:
Dewi the dragon was hiding 
a very sad dragon was he
no matter how much he huffed or puffed 
no fire could he exhale you see 

he lost his fire 
looked everywhere 
even asked his friend Ted bear 
couldn't find it anywhere.

where did you have it last said Ted
now let me think 
i know said Dewi I was singing 
whilst washing dishes at sink

oh my! do you think it's gone down the plughole
cried Dewi tears trickling down his long nose 
i am soooo very unhappy ....
will have to go fireless I suppose

Ted had an idea to make Dewi smile
he called out Pat the plumber to open the waste 
he searched amongst the tea leaves, carefully
didn't want to extinguish it in his haste 

There glowing in the dark corner 
was the fire, Dewi had lost when he sung 
Dewi jumped with glee ...so happy  
in future I wont sing I will just hum.
