A Dragon Tale.

A Dragon Tale.

 

I now have a Dragon to protect from all harm,

a wonderful creature full of mystical charm.

In Fairyland I go to visit him every single day.

He is a happy being always wanting to play.

Every day I must use all of my magic power.

He needs his large feeds every second hour.

My fairies are delighted to have such a friend.

They happily play together for days on end.

The fairies are kept busy painting new flowers,

I have for my Dragon built some new showers.

He has a huge appetite for trees and fresh grass.

I now wonder how it survived in the Alpine pass.

Delicacies and titbits arrive from over the sea.

There are even a few that are addressed to me.

The little folk send help from the World all over.

My new Dragon now lives his life in clover.

Leprechauns are curious this we all know.

Many tall tales of the dragon they did sew.

The Fairy Queen came to see my dragon and me.

Why she even stopped for a cup of my famous tea.

I told Her Royal Majesty that all was quite well.

Just to be sure she cast another magic spell.

A wave of her wand and my Fairyland disappeared.

It was just an ordinary back garden for all that neared.

Now all one can see is my rhubarb and my green peas.

It will be this way forever the spell will never cease.

My Dragon will live the rest of his long life in freedom

Looked after by fairies and magic in this fairy kingdom.
