Poem Artwork

the dragon sat complacenty looking at the unicorn as it grazed
tell me little unicorn how your golden horn upon your head doth work
raising its head chewing thoughtfully he finally turned to the dragon
wisdom comes unto the dragon and the unicorn as they talk

a good question to ask oh mighty dragon but a harder one to answer
the dragon looked confused thought about it for awhile then asked another
if it is hard to answer does that infer that you are not sure yourself
wisdom comes unto the dragon and the unicorn as they talk

yes that is true i know what it can do alas i do not know how it is done
totally abashed by the reply again he picked up a bone and began to eat it
it amazes me to think that something that is part of you is also unknown to you
wisdom comes unto the dragon and the unicorn as they talk

it really doesnt bother me for i know it works upon an evil thought and destroys
the dragon digested this bit of information then placidly placed the bone down
well little unicorn i can see now that i must control my evil thoughts around you
wisdom comes unto the dragon and the unicorn as they talk

the unicorn once again lowered his head silently began to graze in comfort
the dragon mulled this over staring at the sky then slowly picked up his bone
never noticing the grin upon the unicorns mouth as he continued to graze
wisdom comes unto the dragon and the unicorn as they talk

That's a great tale, and a clever ending-dragons and unicorns are two of my favorite creatures, so this was much-enjoyed.
