Peter of Scotland, Dragon Slayer

Poem Artwork
-->

“I’ve been sharpening my battle axe,

And my Excalibur sword,

My entire life;

I Am Ready.”

 

Peter of Scotland,

Dragon Slayer

 

 

He was born in Scotland

Many long centuries ago

When fierce beasties roamed

And fair maidens fretted so

 

When Peter was just a wee young tyke

His father gave him a dragon slayer sword

And he diligently practiced with it every day

Until he became an accomplished Scottish lord

 

But Alas for Noble Peter of Scotland, Dragon Slayer

Just about the time he had reached his true slaying prime

These great dragon beasts of Scotland had all disappeared

What was a dragon slayer to do in such quiet peaceful times?

 

Peter of Scotland thought about his dire predicament for awhile

Then he sat down and began penning hundreds of sincere letters

And he quickly began sending them to many kingdoms far and wide

Now, after all his terrible anguish, Peter of Scotland felt a wee better

 

‘Scottish Dragon Slayer For Hire,

I Will Travel Most Anywhere;

No Job Is Too Big or Too Small,

Just Let Me Know - I’ll Be There”

 

PS

 

But Alas once again for the Valiant Peter of Scotland, Dragon Slayer

He glumly sat around for many years without going on one single trip

There weren’t that many dragons left in any kingdoms these quiet days

He’d also confused some who thought he’d left off his Pricing Post Script

 

 

But very happily for the valiant Peter of Scotland, Dragon Slayer

He finally received a dire message from a Damsel in Distress one day

“Dear Sir Peter of Scotland, Dragon Slayer - our dragons have returned,

Can you possibly help me, Sir? Can you possibly arrive Like Right Away?”

 

Within the blink of a beastly dragon’s eye Peter of Scotland, Dragon Slayer

Bravely rushed off to save this damsel with his battle axe and his sword

But Alas Thrice Now her dragons seemed to have been asleep somewhere

And as he diligently waited for them, Peter of Scotland was getting bored

 

This brave dragon slayer also had one other problem to contend with now

His padded dragon slayer helmet made it very difficult to hear any sounds

This now brings us to the conclusion of this first addition installment today

You'll have to buy Peter’s comic book to find out - if he ever turns around

Dead Poet ( A misnomer if there was ever one, in your case )

I would be lying if I said I didn't love this one...;)

And I ain't gonna start lying now...LOLS

This is so cute and acomplished in your own inimitable style...

I reckon I should take up my old occupation full time again as a dragon slayer again....you have sold me on it... and roused this sleeping giant...:)

This is promising to be another winning and original series for you
