Was It Really There
Was it really there?
Deep in its lair
the dragon sleeps
it’s snore
rumbles and shakes
sending quivers to all
villagers quake in fright
it must be thunder
they hide indoors
too afraid to look
but the dragon
goes on sleeping
the snorts
grow louder
it’s bones now creek
as it slowly stretches
old and cold
he curls back up
in his gloomy lair
since forgotten
just lying there
slowly fading away
his fire extinct
children creep inside
the dank dark cave
to hunt for a dragon
long since gone
did he really exist
or is that just legend
are they scales glistening
or trickles of water
playing tricks
with your eyes
was it really there
