The Braggin' Dragon

A bit of humor and satire served up in a most unchivalrous fashion of Landlord style ...

Deep within the land of mirth,

many a poor soul can concur,

that there surely is a dragon,

who is mighty fine at braggin',

swillin' many a pint and flagon,

boastin' in his dragon breath,

of flames and roastin' death,

many a man yet skewered alive,

by his tail of daggered knives,

all attemptin' to save the lives,

of fair damsels in dire distress,

who got themselves in a mess,

never payin' the bills on time,

shellin' not out a single dime,

till had enough of this did he,

and hired the dragon for a fee,

as bold knights did not agree,

and into fiery flames they fell,

drownin' in this dragon's hell,

paid in full by a pissed landlord,

who'd had enough of lyin' w****s,

livin' on his free room and board,

a man who simply did not bluff,

and of freeloadin' b*****s had 

 -- had, quite enough.

Lol, as we say here, ' mighty craic for sure' .. Excellent witty ditty, skillfully penned in fine flowing rhyme and verse, and who could blame the rather inebriated Landlord, perhaps hiring that big bad braddin dragon a tad extreme, but something had to be done to evict 'em squatters!!!!

Superb satire poet friend!!

Thank you for reading, Tom!

[Ken e Bujold]

a grand ode Marvin. 1/3 old bard, 1/3 monty python, 1/3 caustic tale of warning. impeccable cadence makes the poem flow effortlessly, thereby allowing reader to fully submerge in the story.

hope all is going well my friend
