Of us with wiser heads
Suggested they’d all soon have a case of the deads.
While Dragons are reasonably solitary,
They can get together for acts dietary.
Most of us figured they’d soon fill our lives with dragon breath
And we’d get close acquainted with death
So I broke out in a full body rash
They day they brought us Gorgash.
Gorgash was grump, old, and ready to end
He said he’d be fine to be fried for his friends
It’s not the first time humans forgot
That Dragon laughter sounds like laughter – not.
He was tired of his life-too-long
And just to show his mind was wrong
He wanted to die ignominiously
At the hands of Humanity.
Dragons are stranger by very far
Than the madmen at your local samovar
They are subtle. Except certain dragons I could name
Who know humans as subjects of flame…
But many Dragons grew a great bore bash
At the upcoming cooking of dear Goregath.
They gave him medals, which he ate
And a servant, who suffered a far worse fate
Then the Dragons at the Springs
(If you want to fry Dragon, you need certain rare springs
Like these, who, at a quarter hour beat
Expelled insane amounts of heat.)
Goregath was fried. And Dragons, who are solitary
Have seldom gathered in groups this large. Or merry.
Humans worried the Dragons might get upset.
That slaying their own kind might some Wyrms regret.
If only that had happened. Instead, as in times immemorial
The Wyrms found Humans risorial
Dragons taste as sweet as their souls;
Which taste, at best, like long-dead moles.
That’s have came the takeover corporate
(Some humans haven’t gotten over it.)
And now, by coincidence,
Humans now have evidence
That Humans are yummy. Dragons taste gross
From there, cannibalism’s pretty close.
Especially if you taste Gorgath
(Dark soul. Also, jerk. YOU do the math.)
So no, we were not created
Merely subjugated
To the whims of Dragons, inhuman, bizarre….
….yet most of us prefer things as they are.
Have you ever MET a Human?
