A dragon sighting in it’s lair,

Now this just wasn’t fair.

To think this happens almost every day.

Point that sword some other way!

Don’t you have a life of your own?

Go and bother someone else’s home.

Doesn’t knights have better things to do?

Like saving a maiden or two.

Well take a look around, you stupid man of fight.

Can’t you tell this lair is maiden-light?

I’ve done nothing to bother your peace.

Get a gripe and be at ease.

I just want some calm and quiet.

I don’t go on human diet.

I find it quite insulting,

That you say I’m the one revolting.

Who did I kill and who did I eat?

When did I ever grill your body’s meat?

I have not slaughtered nor have I slain.

Over no village sent fires of rain.

Still these things you think of me,

Just seeing what you want to se.

But none of it is true.

What did I ever do to you?

Wow! What a good insight into the feelings and mind of a dragon! I really like this, especially the last line, "What did I ever do to you?" I also liked the word "maiden-light" 10 A really good thing here is the breaking of all the clichés, all the things people usually believe about dragons in fairy tales: that they attack villages, imprison poor maidens, etc. etc. You described the dragon’s feelings really well, and I like the choice of words and the tone, those are really good! ^^

You write very well!~
