A clang of steel, a guttural snarl, and the dance has begun
yet again
Spurs spark against rock as nimble ankles twist and spin
Fangs flash through the air, two foes each preparing for
battle akin
Sword and shield clash with tooth and claw, creating a
furious din
One battles for honor and glory, to show his people his
heart
The other is in this fight for survival, losing would mean
death
A graceful twirl and elegant strike show a stunning art
While a desperate strike and slick retreat reveal a lost
breath
A classic tale unfolds, armored Paladin against scaled
Dragon
The question becomes then, who will write this story
History is written by the victors, often over a full flagon
The loser might protest, but his body looks a little hoary
With a majestic flap of wings, the dragon concedes this fight
While the Paladin slumps against the rock, relief upon his
brow
A trumpeting note sounds forth, a farewell as the beast
takes flight
Softly sighing, the Paladin stares into sky and whispers a
gentle “Ciao”
