Guards In the House of Lords

In a land that flows with milk and honey, 
the wind moans with foolish silly punny.

The mountains countless caves blaze with blithe light; 
trees of Ténéré quiver that tower in height.

The sound of trickling water, yield boasting
ground canvas color and peacocks strutting.

Dragons, Dragonflies, and dwarf Huffle-winks
old folklore, they could care less what one thinks.

Small, magical winged beings that breathe in
playfully flitter vanish in a blink.

Dragons roar with crackling fire of thunder 
huge and fierce in all their mystic wonder,

fluoresce scales an in brilliant livery; 
benevolence manner, bold chivalry.

Leap into the air, their leathery wings
stretching to catch the air above like kings.

Huffle-winks stand with shields and sharpen swords 
and cocky grins, guards in the House of Lords.

In a land that milk and honey cascades
and heavens shine and summer never fades.
