To My Dragon

To my dragon breathing fire,
please I beg you, take me higher.
From your back the ground I'll scan,
below your massive wing span.

Here's the plan, we'll travel far,
above castle turret and cathedral spire.
Cast a shadow where ere' we go.
Fleeing villagers down below.

As in Game of Thrones, I wish to swoop,
as I shout a command to let loose
your fiery breath on a fleet of ships.
Then land with a thud on turret tip.

Oh how thrilling, let's resume
our merry pace in the gaze of the moon.
I'm exhausted now, please take me home,
but return soon for another roam.
