There once was a mighty beast,
a dragon, and sometimes it released
its fearsome jet of flame --
as it snored! All the same,
one day a knight came at least!

Was the knight roasted and toasted?
The knight who always boasted
that he would slay the mighty dragon?
Alas, the beast was as big as a hay wagon,
and it rolled over and squashed him flat!

Take up your knitting needle and crochet hook and follow the Path of the Dragon!
