The dragon’s dog was beautiful,
he wanted her to know.
He took her to the festival
to win her “Best in Show.”
Some said oooo, and some said ahhhh
before they screamed and fled.
Some fell on their knees and prayed
to stay the dragon’s dread.
One judge just sat petrified
and raised a perfect ten.
The dragon smiled satisfied,
and razed their fucking tent.
Some fell upon their knees and prayed
One judge sat nearly petrified
The dragon smiled, quite satisfied
As for that one two-syllable word, in a spirit of mercy toward those tempted to read this one to the kiddies, how about "bloomin' tent?"
