Dragon
A fire breathing lizard
I like to sleep on my valuable horde,
of priceless gems and coins of gold.
There among the treasures stored,
my greed lives in my heart so cold.
Jewels I will never wear,
nor spend a single coin of mine
None of my treasure would I share.
I’ll devour any thief that dares the crime.
I will burn your fields.
Your livestock I will consume.
No weapon you can wield,
will ever spell my doom.
I can breathe fire;
I can fly away.
Your situation’s dire,
the day I come to stay.
If a dragon you should meet,
run away real fast,
or face a death from fire and heat
your life over in a flaming blast.
