A Song for Leslie Writes' 'What am I?' Unofficial Challenge
Ever since Leslie published her challenge, I've had a song stuck in my head. And every time I tried to work on the challenge, the song filled my mind and kept me from thinking straight.
It's a very catchy song!
I first heard it on the TV show "Dirk Gently," which, if you haven't watched it already, I highly recommend!
So I'll borrow a page from Mike's book and start my post by sharing the song with you:
Now, for my entry, please try to sing it in your head! 😉 And I hope you'll enjoy!

There's a reason, they say
For which cats are this way
It's a really real reason, you see...
.
With their big shiny eyes
And their big clumsy heads
Masquerading to fool you and me...
.
Biological hack
Making humans go wack
They're adorable, all can agree...
.
But the question remains
Who would feel those constraints
And take care of us humans for free?
.
Dragophants!
Flying in the sky
Dragophants!
Living out of sight
Dragophants!
Keeping us close by
Dragophants:
They're the only ones who think we're cute...
...
There are reasons, you know
For the dragons to show
They are really real reasons, you see...
.
With the skies their domains
And their big awesome brains
They are smarter than both you and me...
.
Biological hack!
Making elephants wack:
We're so tiny and soft, don't you see?
.
But the hybrid of both
Born of magical oath
Will take care of us humans for free!
.
Dragophants!
Flying in the sky
Dragophants!
Living out of sight
Dragophants!
Keeping us close by
Dragophants:
They're the only ones who think we're cute...
.
They could be shy, or they could be just picky
'Cause to be seen with one is beyond tricky!
But if you're chosen, they'll care for your needs:
They have the power, the kindness, the means!
.
Dragophants!
Flying in the sky
Dragophants!
Living out of sight
Dragophants!
Keeping us close by
Dragophants:
They're the only ones who think we're cute...

Author's note: There is a theory that cats have evolved to resemble the young of several stronger species as a defense mechanism, being effectively "too cute to hurt" for lions, tigers... and humans.
If there was a species that could find us humans "too cute to hurt", what would they be like?
