War Of The Dragons

The War of The Dragons
Many older folks say
Wasn’t like the wars
Happening today

First would come stories
From far away lands
About how the dragons came
And how the knights took their stand

There were tales of death
And many narrow escapes
Told over feast tables
With full bellies and plates

Bent on destruction
Dragons spat their fire
And for awhile there
Things looked pretty dire

The king would then bid
All his people to flee
And hide in their homes
So they the dragons wouldn’t see

Many a brave knight fell
Before the wars were done
And it was thanks to these knights
That these wars were won
