      Hello KeePers/KaPeeFers!! I wrote this ballad a long while back, and I’m kinda proud of it, because it had a difficult rhyme scheme. πŸ˜… Enjoy!

      The Red Dragon

      I was on my way to fight a red dragon
      When I met a peddler pulling a wagon.
      I asked him for wine and he gave me his flagon
      And said, β€œYou will need that to fight the red dragon.”

      β€œHow,” said I, β€œdid you know of my quest?
      And as for the wine, I haven’t yet guessed
      How it could help; why, surely you jest
      And seek to make fun of this serious quest.”

      β€œI do not jest, nay, I give you a clue,
      And if you make fun, then shame upon you!
      β€˜Tis this magical flagon, not homemade brew
      That will aid you; there! that is my clue.”

      I went on my way to fight the red dragon
      Leaving behind the peddler’s wagon.
      And long I looked at the magical flagonβ€”
      How would this help me to fight the red dragon?

      At the foot of the mountain I encountered a ranger
      At least so he said, the devious stranger.
      And he looked at my flagon, and I knew there was danger
      If it fell in the hands of a renegade ranger.

      Soon we were locked in a furious tussle
      And the ranger, he used all his might and his muscle
      Till the dragon flew down, with a furious hustle
      And left me alone with myself and the tussle.

      Then I went with all haste to the lair of the dragon,
      And bethought myself there of the peddler’s wagon
      And pondered the use of the magical flagon
      And how I would use it to kill the red dragon.

      Then in came the dragon, with a powerful roar
      He had seven horns, and tusks like a boar,
      And three spiky tails, and eyes? he had four;
      But most terrifying of all was his deafening roar!

      Then he saw me, and turned, and swiped with his paw
      And threatening to eat me, opened his jaw.
      Then I hurled the flagon right into his maw
      And POOF! went the dragon, tusk, horn, and paw.

      That’s how I conquered the mighty red dragon
      With advice from the peddler who pulled a wagon
      And lent unto me his magical flagonβ€”
      That’s all I used to kill the red dragon.
