The Knight and the Dragon

The moon blazed bright,
That starry night,
A fiery Dragon did roam free;
And from the town,
The Knight rode down,
To do his job and collect his fee.

To slay the dragon he had come.
It was business and it was fun.
But what he wanted was Revenge.

His village once had been burned down,
Before he chose his path.
He had to get the job done soon;
For it'd been weeks since his last bath.

He'd sought the dragon,
And he'd fought it,
Many times before.
Since neither would bend,
In draw it would end,
But this time would be different, each swore.

All at once, the beast swooped down,
Fire flaming in his fury.
The Knight struck fast, hoping soon
To have Dragon's corpse to bury.

The bloody battle was fought once more,
As deadly as a full-blown war.
And the true ending was found at last;
Dragon impaled, Knight fried on blast.
Neither finding their glory,
The happy ending to their story,
Though the conflict was resolved at last.

The moon blazed bright,
That starry night,
The Dragon had met his doom.
And to the town,
The Knight was brought down,
And laid out in his tomb.
