Dewi the Dragon
Dewi the dragon was flying back home
when he came across a stray garden gnome.
The gnome he was eating, the gnome he was drinking,
he was just settling in to his gnome picnic feast.
So Dewi the dragon, he swooped from the sky,
dove to the earth, and plopped down beside.
"Oh gnome, I dare say, you have plenty to eat,
how about giving this dragon a treat?"
"Oh dragon you'll eat me. I've heard of your kind.
Here take all of my beer, take all of my wine!"
"Today is a feast day--no gnome meals allowed.
See I've brought my own cheese, now let's invite that cow."
"Uh huh" said the cow, who was wiser than that,
"I'll stay just right here and keep chewing the fat!"
The dragon he sighed, and flew into the sky,
shedding big dragon tears as he started to fly.
"It's true that I eat them, but today's a special day.
So I'll find me some leeks and be on my way."
And lo past the river he spied some of his leeks
and he settled on down for his St. David's Day feast.
"Excuse me," said a dragon landing by his side,
"do you mind if I eat and with you here abide?"
"Not at all" said young Dewi "I just got blown off by a gnome,
impeccably bad manners, but tasty to the bone!"
"Oh I know," said the dragon, whose name was Dear Trixie,
"such vile creatures, but they do taste like whiskey!"
"Are you feasting today?" She asked cheerily,
"I'm on my way to a fete and I needed some leeks."
Then Dewi exclaimed "You too must be going to the Venerable Maurice's,
he's wicked, he's wacky, but he's a fun loving creature!"
So off they flew that Dewi and Trixie,
off to Maurice's that said par-tay fixer.
The party was grand, beer poured from the fountain
and the cheese was piled up as high as a mountain.
Maurice he came over and greeted his guests,
and he listed with care to Dewi's tale of distress.
Then he sighed, rolled his eyes,
and had these words to say:
"Tat ees okay, today ve 'ave cheese, ve 'ave leeks, and zome beer,
but tomorrow ve are free to 'ave gnome and steak, zo be cheered!"
Then they all laughed for they knew it was true,
he'd hunt down that gnome and that crazy cow too!"
