A long time ago,
Where the white river runs
Lived an elegant dragon
Elegantly named ….Ty E. Rion
He was dressed in the
Blue silk and gold thread
Complete with a lacy white ruff
He held a gold scepter - for balance I read
His ears flapped like wings
His face was all wrinkled
His breath smelled like camp fire
His eyes how they twinkled
His nails were all polished
And sharpened with care
Any hair that he had was
Taken care of with Nair
Now, the elegant Ty E. Rion
Was and a bit selfish, was he
He had grown up in grandeur
In a rich kingdom you see
Out in the woods, he went one day
And he heard a beautiful song
He knew he had to have it
But he knew to take it was wrong
He spied upon the beautiful bird
Who sang that beautiful song
A waterfall sprang from his golden eyes
And he let out a great big sob
A river of tears flowed steadily
Down his great big cheeks
He quickly reached out and grabbed her
Down his great big cheeks
He quickly reached out and grabbed her
And she let out a "tweet-squeak-tweet"
He imprisoned her selfishly
In a small golden cage
She would sing only for him
While he ate, drank and played
So she sang the songs of sorrow
Oh he loved that sweet voice
But his heart felt a burden
And he knew he had no choice
He released her from the golden cage
As gently as a dragon could
And to his utter and sheer delight
It was then he understood
Her song was loud, it was brilliant
As sweet as the morning sun
He realized her beautiful songs
Were meant to be enjoyed….
By everyone
