An Unexpected Guest

One hot and boring day,

I went outside to play,

I saw a dragon in the garden

and said ‘I beg your pardon’?

The dragon was surprised

he didn’t realize

that little boys could talk,

really, he was in shock.

He said: ‘I’m stopping by

to see a butterfly’.

his wings are gold and red,

his name is Happy Fred.’

I said: ‘oh don’t you worry,

I scared you, I am sorry,

the roses by the shed

are where we’ll find your Fred.

It really was quite sweet

to see the two friends meet,

we had a rugby match

and played a game of catch.

They both flew on to Rome

and me? I went back home.

Now do you wonder why?

‘cause little boys can’t fly.
