Halfhearted Dragon Joel
halfhearted dragon could not puff out fire or even smoke
what has happened to our son? He is such a passive bloke
joel never gets interested in anything, he is not a life-long learner
he does not want a job, a family, he cannot turn a pancake turner
perhaps we did too much for him, we never let him take his licks.
we raised a bored, do-nothing unenthusiastic boy said his daddy Ricks
this lead to an argument, beginning of a whole bunch, truly many.
motivation does not come his way, and he is almost twenty!
halfhearted dragon heard them arguing but his head was full of wood.
he had never finished one page of homework, procrastinating good.
parents never let him grow up, but now they wanted him to change?
joel rolled his eyes at their halfhearted efforts, not willing to rearrange.
