Panther

Dionysus and his mount
both racking up quite the count
In the cave and on the run
Immune, there was only one

On a dragon from the east
The panther could never feast
In his lair he would dwell
But the dragon could not smell

No matter how hard they try
The dragon would never die
Even with a magic fleece
He was not his fancy feast
