My Knight in Shining Scales
I jumped off his scaly back
And as he prepared to attack
My dragon just snorted
His face contorted
Eyes drawn on the man he would whack
Usually the roles were reversed
But it seemed that this knight was cursed
For my dragon was the hero
His opponent in fear of
What my brave green friend would do first
This castle was my home
And if this man thought he was free to roam
He’d become like diced cheese
By my dragon with ease
Because with him, I was never alone
No matter what the future entails
His bravery never fails
He’ll always be there
And when I’m scared
I’ll have my knight in shining scales
