Semaj the Dragon Slayer

In a kingdom called Torridon On Scotland's west coast Resides a warrior called Semaj A Dragon slayer of boast He has been called upon To rid an ogre beast For on his countrymen it does Continually feast On an outcrop of rock Down in Argyll This ogre of wrath A monster so vile On arriving there He scouts around Finding broken bodies In this rocky surround Up in the distance he hears Noises so strange Not from this life As in-trepidation nears On a rocky arch he stands As the ogre appears Club in his hand As he steadily nears Semaj advances In the middle they meet For below them lies Another Dragon defeat With club swingin The ogre attacks The Claymore of Semaj In swift blow whack In balances unsteady On this thin strip of rock With another glancing blow In battle he's mocked With a final attempt This ogre so weak To the sea his club falls His afterlife he seeks Now on his knees Comes the fatal blow Decapitation To the waters below With a mighty splash As it's absorbed by the sea This killer of clansmen Is no longer be To tumultuous cheer From the Clan Chiefs abode They heap praise on Semaj To their aid he has rode For warrior wise This Scot of the Scot's Battle hardened It's the way he's been taught Back to his kingdom he heads With his sword stained in blood This patriot of the Clans And the country he loves http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-9.php
