Most Unlikely Dragonslayer

Oh dear dragonslayer
or those who would be
such is the story
most unlikely dragonslayer

as it would be
i am such a person
it was not to be as it started
as i was selected to be
a feast for the dragon

as a would-be dragonslayer
came to slay this dragon
i was cut loose so that
i might be spared 
the dragon was to appear
to feast on the dragonslayer

i ran as the dragon was busy
busy with the dragonslayer
i did fall in a crevice
between jagged boulders
as the dragon was feasting
tearing the dragonslayer to pieces
the sword landed next to me

as i hear the dying gasps
to fear now the dragon
looking for his feast
i moved deeper in the crevice
 
the dragon could not see me
he know i was there
he could smell me
i felt the heat of his breath
i thought it is over as he passed over

now i was to see his soft belly underside
no one has ever seen this before
i just reached for the sword nearby
with all my might i thrust the sword upward
penetrating the soft underside

the ear-piercing shriek of the dragon was heard
the blood was flowing as I preferred
out all over me and in my mouth as my feast
as the sword was seeking the foul heart
that pushed the foul blood of the breast

as the final shriek of the dragon he fell over
i stepped from the crevice
for the dragon to see his dragonslayer
the last time before he shut his eyes forever
i see myself covered in blood of the dragon

I seek out a nearby stream in which
to wash the dragon blood off
the foul taste i had in my mouth
i knew i had drank of this blood
that spilled in my mouth.
from the reflection in the pool
I was saw such red as I was covered
i was covered from head to toe

i was now to walk to the village
from i came and the good townspeople
that tied me to the pole
for the dragon to feast on
 
the mayor came out to greet me
for he had a knife behind his back
he knew i had to die to save the village
saved from the dragon I knew
 
he approached and thrust
the dragger to my heart
the knife did not pierce my flesh
so it is true that dragon blood
can yield one’s skin impenetrable
