He killed his first dragon today
As it came out of the earth
His lady stood back in dismay
He had his weapon at the ready
He struck until it curled in defeat
Hand ever steady
Not satisfied with this victory
On account of his lady’s persistent fear
He searched further to kill any beasts near
With little battle to speak of, his strength unmatched
Again his enemy was smashed and smashed
I myself am
Thankful that I witnessed the screech of a big sister
such a war waged
The banging of a sand shovel
The bystander to see a boy shout, “No bug! No!”
The dirt battleground of a the backyard deck.
I got to be there and see
Because I am mommy
He killed a vicious rolly polly
