The dragon
Toni Bradley 1993 (California)
She chases the dragon hoping to find a way out
She chases the dragon just to find herself on the same route
The dragon stops to turn and face her
All over her face you can see her fear
It opens it mouth and out comes a sinister laugh
She's face to face with the dragon at last
As scared as she is, she refuses to run
Then the dragon sneers its time to have some fun
She stands her ground and yells "That's enough!"
Its then she sees the dragons really not that tough
Looks like the tables have turned and now she's the one who leads the way
Now the dragons the one too scared to stray
