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
