Protector or enemy - which way is it this time?
Dragons have been both ways, in story and rhyme.
Some can breathe fire, with teeth like a knife.
Many have fought them, and most lose their life.
*
With thick, scaly skin and a mastery of flight,
It's a wonder that even the valiant will fight.
Some dragons are passive and live on their own.
If they're hoarding treasure, best leave them alone.
*
Some have been guardians, with humans as friends.
Such an alliance has strong dividends.
No matter what you think of them, dragons fascinate.
In story or poem, dragon tales await.
