Green of scale and orange of eye.. A dragon’s quest of evil fly. The maid most fair for him to take A quest most foul he doth partake. Fear not my maid for thou art mine. Fear not my beauty so divine. Rest thy young head ‘gainst my lone breast Fear not , I take thee as my quest. The maw of the abyss shall not feel thy flesh or taste, in jaws of steel. My sword shall come to part the bone. Fear not, fear not, thee aren’t alone. As day does turn to darkest night And dragon wings do take to flight. My steed and I shall guard thee well from the claws of a demon’s hell. Whence the moon does rise to it’s peak a dragon soars to search and seek a maid most fair both far and near. upon a night of crystal clear. The walls are high of strongest stone To keep from harm when once alone. A dragon’s sight shall sound the cry As archer’s bows let arrows fly. And till the day shall come to light I shall guard thee from dragon flight. My sword and shield shall quench the fire of the beast for a maid's desire. |

I'd say that was a pretty good request for a present, and the unwrapping was delightful! |

"My sword shall come to part the bone." There's just something about that particular line...it just rolls off my tongue! (am I bad? I YAM.) This is wonderful mag! |

At the bottom of the list of praises (as usual!!!) Lovely write, from a knight to a lady!! And if I may, dear Sandra, 'Happy Birthday' ( I suppose it is about your 21st, 21st) Have a good one, and I will raise a glass to you!!! (nothing in it, just the glass!!!) Love and Stuff John Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. |

The maid has once again been saved Such stalwart knight who did the deed He cut a swarth through every knave to reach her in her time of need. |
