Willyum
Pendragon Dragon

(2007)
A handsomer dragon you’ve never
seen
With
scales of red and gold and
green
Now
Willyum Pendragon Dragon
had been
brought
up to be heard and not
seen.
Long of
life and big on
strength
Willyum
would go to any length
To stop
you seeing where he
went
Invisibility, his sole intent.
The
truth was, he was
frightened
of
people that are
unenlightened,
And
thought that all the world
might end
If
dragons played about
untightened.
So, if
he sees you coming his
way
he’ll
roar as loud as he
possibly may
So you
won’t be able to
truthfully say
You saw
a great dragon, this
wonderful day.
Willyum, of course, would love
to be friends
but
his Mum and Dad said
friendship ends
The
moment a human , according
to trends,
Sees a
great dragon making
amends.
For
the frights that his
forebears, so many,
Gave to
the world, just like
Henny Penny
Who
said the sky was falling,
to all and any
Who’d
listen in the town of old
Tuscanenny.
For
Willyum Pendragon Dragon,
it’s better to hide
No
matter how it bites at your
pride
And
since this great land’s as
long as it’s wide,
Here’s
always a space for a
dragon to hide!
So when
you are walking, keep a
look out
for a
dragon, for you’ll see by
his snout
That
dragons, like you, just
love to be out
But don’t like to be seen by
humans, about.
