The Beastly Dragon by Nick Toczek
The dragon, the dragon’s a beastly beast,
Its face all crumpled and creased.
It should be jailed and not released,
Instead it’s out there, unpoliced.
The dragon, the dragon’s a beastly beast,
A fire-breathing, winged artiste
That’s dangerous, to say the least.
It thinks of people as a feast.
The dragon, the dragon’s a beastly beast
That has no faith in church or priest,
And although their numbers have decreased,
They’re still out west and in the east.
