The Dragonbone Chair

The Dragonbone Chair

Mr Williams that's the guy, first name Tad
Wrote an epic story about a little lad
A layabout, a scruff, a hero in the making
In a time when elven magic is awaking

Though he labours in the scullery, he's born of noble line
His father was a great man, we should take it as a sign
So he grew up in the palace, and sometimes he would dare
To sneak into the throne room and sit upon that chair

Of dragon bone they say it's made
A beast destroyed in the crusade
Though myths and legends time may fade
The dragonbone chair has always stayed

My shelf is stocked with just these books
Please don't give me funny looks
I need no other than these four
Now leave me, let me read some more

The verse must be written as someone would speak in DIALECT and be of something which might have or did happen in the past in these places. The contest is called Bloody Sista's, please enter.
