Imagining Dragons

For fun we played a mind-game,
deciding to imagine a perfect dragon.

She put together a plump pink dragon
that blew rainbow bubbles
and smelled of minty chewing gum.

Mine was an iridescent cockatrice,
a spiny feathered serpent that vomited hydrogen Sulfide
coating all with the stench of rotting eggs.

“Ugh!” She cried!

Then I added
that already her dragon had been eaten by killer fairies.

“Pig, you crapped on my cute dragon!”

I may be sleeping on the couch tonight.
