Magic Dragons

I was just a little boy And dragons abounded, this I was sure So out I went, on a sun filled day To slay the fiercest of all dragons I packed a lunch I knew this was an all day affair Dragon slaying was a serious business And off I marched, to the local bogs I dreamed of all the fame I would have The mightiest of all dragon slayers Why all the village and even church Would honor my noble deeds Riches would surely follow As I sold his hide and fiery tongue Surely three arrows I would need To conquer such a mighty foe Well the bog was wet and the going somewhat slow Alas the dragon, like magic appeared Somewhat smaller than I dreamed He smiled, and said good day young man!!! Hardly a scary dragon at all He inquired as to what I had in my sack I replied, me lunch and three arrows to defeat you The dragon smiled, and offered to heat up my lunch How could one refuse such kindness? Truth be told I was kinda hungry too! So there we sat on an old fallen log As I shared my meal with a dragon Tomorrow I shall return Just a little boy, poorer still I will bring another lunch To share with my new friend in the bog

I really enjoyed this one, I hope you would consider expanding it, I feel there is much more you can do with this one. It feels like the start to a truly magnificent meal.

:) How dreamy.....and adorably cute, yet profound.....Great write, Arthur. Thanks for the suggestion on the Title of the poem. I changed it! Gave you credit in the last line for that.
