pray tell me, have you heard the tale
of Dragon and St. George?
the beast and its enormous tail
the struggle near the gorge?
well, let me tell you, what you've heard
is not completely true
the real events are somewhat blurred
give modesty its due
the truth is when George raised his spear
a euphemism, you see
t'was love he felt, it wasn't fear
but it was not to be
yes, real love is what he sought
his heart set on the drake
the dragon preferred Lancelot
he partial to the snake
the jealous lover, thus engorged
grabbed his spear with his glove
and thus, the Dragon and St. George
and unrequited love
