Dragons are a strange lot
No two are quite the same.
Some like to scale tall mountains.
Some don't even have a name.
Some have horns and teeth and wings.

Some like just to sit.

Some love to go out flying.
Some love to rage and spit.

So, If you've seen a dragon.
Consider yourself blessed.
Because of all the creatures in the world,

He's picked you out as best.
And if he follows you around.
Decides to take you home.

Know ye' well that he will be
a friend, you truly own.
