The Salesman

You all know that I’m a Dragon….. Like doing Dragon things
Play with sultry maidens….. Soaring high on wings
Yes, it seems occasionally… I must find a knight
For all the population enjoys, a damn good fight
It appears your ”civilization” is spreading much to wide
A Salesman called up to my cave… Imagine that.. The hide
The Cheek of such a happening, is really Too absurd
I’ll now relate what happened… In my own Dragon words

I had been out on a hunting trip just the night before
Knights Armour is much stronger now, so my mouth was sore
A Dragon with a Broken Fang should well be left alone
But still this Stupid Salesman walked into my home

“This is what I thought I saw, as I drove by in my car
So I parked and walked right up…. Really not that far
I have come to show you ….oh so many wares
I will take away from you, your worries and your cares
I know that someone lives here, for I could smell the fire
Decided to just drop right in, and visit for a while
It’s really dark in here,,, Don’t know how you can see
But I can sell you lighting,,,, Now come and Talk with me”

That voice was getting on my nerves, as I curled up on my ledge
If it doesn’t go away,,,, I’ll just remove it’s head
It was coming closer,,,,, Just would not go away
Maybe it was time,,,,, for me to make his day

It had been about two hours, I drank the case of Rum
I could feel it kicking in,,,,, thought I’d have some fun
Sneaking for a Dragon is not a simple thing
For we really are quite large, with even larger wings
Yet somehow I succeeded, to sneak into my place
Oh that silly salesman…. We now were face to face

He must have felt some movement, for he hesitated there
I opened Golden Glowing Eyes, and fixed him with my stare
Just a touch of Brimstone, I Filtered through my jaws
For someone so loquacious,,,,, It seemed to give him pause
Maybe it all happened when I stroked him with my tail
But from Confidence and Talk,he let out a wail

His Eyes now bulged like goldfish, hair was turning white
It seems that in an instant, he was a frightful sight
So I picked him up real gently, put him between my wings
Said “Now I’ll show you Dragon Needs,,, Other lovely things”
In an instant we were Soaring, high into the sky
Another instant diving, as I showed him how we fly
Now and then I’d shake him off,,, Then catch him as he fell
By the time that I was finished,he didn’t look too well

So if you have a salesman, who comes up to your door
With White Hair and a Tremor, like none you’ve seen before
Just Whisper to him Dragons,,,, ere he begins to speak
Believe me he will Never Ever, come back near your street
