She wasn't content <br />Sitting in her room <br />She went out at night <br />Though it would be her doom <br /> <br />After walking a league <br />And taking a rest <br />She awoke with a dread <br />Deep in her breast <br /> <br />She looked about <br />To see what was there <br />She spied a lad <br />Oh! was he fair <br /> <br />He smiled and fled <br />And she gave pursuit <br />They came to a tree <br />That bore much fruit <br /> <br />The lad told her 'Eat.' <br />And so she did <br />It awoke in her mind <br />Things best left hid <br /> <br />Visions of witches <br />And goblins and ghosts <br />Danced in her head <br />The lad frightened her most <br /> <br />His face got long <br />And his skin turned to scales <br />His beauty had changed <br />Into a monster with a tail <br /> <br />She tried to flee <br />But the fruit took effect <br />Only too late did she <br />Begin to detect <br /> <br />The dragon grew <br />For that's what it was <br />The last thing she saw... <br />Ah, that it was <br /> <br />The dragon's breath <br />Of fire and smoke <br />Wrapped her in darkness <br />Just like a cloak <br /> <br />He ate her like THAT! <br />In only one bite <br />So next time you wonder, <br />Be back before night!<br /><br />Shelby Renee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dragon-and-a-lady/
