George the Dragon

George The Dragon was alone and sad
Ashamed because of a problem he had

And because it caused embarrassment
To a far away country George was sent

He told his situation to a merry old toad
Who he met while walking along a road

I cannot breathe fire  -  not like the rest
It does not matter  which  food  I digest

I can only breathe clouds - bearing rain 
The toad said - George, why complain?

You will always be welcome in our land
As you can see - there is only the sand

So George The Dragon decided to stay
And keeps the rivers filled  -  to this day
