Love surely cannot be denied  
The drake did whisper to the dove  
My bride, please join me in this dance  
Chance brought us here, but our romance  
Not happenstance

I cannot bear a dragon’s egg  
She answered coyly, and besides  
Don’t beg, it doesn’t suit your rank  
And to be frank, your breath, it stank  
Surely you prank

The lovers did not consummate  
The dragon cursed his cruel fate  
The dove, flew on, both proud and straight

And that’s our story, mate
