The Viking and the Gypsy – the Sacrifice There waiting, holding down a hand Was the Viking with halo white Ready and willing to rescue maid And slay the dragon in mighty fight She stopped and turned round to find In race the fierce dragon came Nostrils flared in smoke tinged rush Mouth consumed with heated flame What then, she thought in quickened flash If the Viking and the dragon should meet And the dragon’s savage will prevail The Viking falling to death in defeat Then the dragon- this maid he would surely devour And carry on to pillage the village place Spreading his malice and pending doom No, this dragon-- this dragon she must face She turned then and the dragon drew still “What is this, gypsy maid most fair, Why do you pause and wait for my dread When salvation’s hand answers your prayer?” The maid hung head and fell to knees “To save myself others must be put at risk How with self would I then live? No, would rather surrender to death’s mean kiss” “Or if you will, to be your slave, To serve and answer all calls you make But to me a promise you must tender Is this an offer of which you will partake?” The dragon groaned and eyed the girl A most enticing beauty her form did reveal “Ah, this promise you would have me give- Ask it, perhaps we shall make a deal.” “Let live the Viking and his kind, Seal us off within your caverns deep Then I will service you as you please Will this promise you make and keep?” He breathed an acrid smoke filled plume Rolling eyes and picking teeth Then nodding yes, he captured his prize And turned to descend to the lair beneath The Gypsy, she had made her stand And there was no blood upon her hand She gave herself in love bound gift To save her kin and the Viking Man s.a.t. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

The Gypsy, she had made her stand And there was no blood upon her hand She gave herself in love bound gift To save her kin and the Viking Man indeed in life we must make a number of difficult choices and sacrifices...i hope the gypsy made the right choice...did she? |

Smiling with you...I know the joy and effort it takes to put together a poetic story line, so I have a feeling there will be a part four... right? ![]() Sure hope so! |

me thinks the gypsy is playing a hooters queen, when all the time, there's a real trick up her sleeve...(wink) yes? Stunning as always...can't wait for the next! Betcha the dragon falls in love with her, and changes, becomes a real smooth kitten giving out fiddles at the local Village Salvation Army? |

Mannn, I must say I think DS is right, the dragon has some less than pleasant times ahead. Anyone want to trade places with him? Errrrr, perhaps.... |
