Long ago and far away, in the Castle of Light.
It is there do I begin the tale of the brave dust bunny knight.
He wore armor made of tinfoil and his sword was made of wood.
He was the model of chivalry and his manners were always good.
He rode upon a gray tomcat and with his sword and lance,
trolls and ogres stepped aside, for evil had no chance.
He would bravely go where monsters lived, deep within the gloom,
bop them on the nose with his wooden sword, and send them to their room.
His gallant steed was a four clawed fighter, but wise beyond his years.
His speed was unmatched and his battle meow was feared.
The mighty steed had a name, Belvidere was he called,
as he walked in diginity and in grace around the castle halls.
All of the bravest knights were summoned before the king,
to find the youngest princess,kidnapped she had been.
It seemed a fearsome dragon flew into the castle doors.
It reached and grabbed the princess and left with a fearsome roar.
The bunny knight left right away and saddled Belvidere,
It left to find the princess, and the evil dragon most feared.
He rode through the castle gates, and many people cheered,
"There goes the brave Dust Bunny Knight and his mount Belvidere."
They traveled the kingdom looking for clues as to where the dragon had went.
At night they made up camp and ate chocolate and pepperment.
One day they spotted a pixie, high up in a tree,
who told our brave adventurers where the dragon would be.
They thanked the pixie warmly, and gave it chocolate snacks.
Off they went to the dragons lair, and spotted dragon tracks.
Inside they saw the dragon with scales of yellow and green,
making the princess hula hoops out of its blue smoke rings.
Our heros silently crept up on the dragon in the caves dim light.
Then Belvidere shouted, "MEOOOW" and gave the dragon a fright.
The dragon jumped, scared to death, and it smoke rings all turned square,
for he knew he faced the dust bunny knight and his mount Belvidere.
The dragon pleaded with the bunny knight, " Oh don't send me to my room,
I have just found a new friend and was lonely in this gloom."
"If you take the princess home, let me come along with you,
to play with my new friend, and the other children too."
They waited for the dragon to pack its dragon things,
and off they rode on a cart made of blue smoke rings.
On a cart pulled by dragon they made such a sight,
when they came back to the castle all danced with delight.
Now in the castle lives the dragon, as happy as you've seen,
and all the children visit him, and jump through his smoke rings.
When the children go to bed, you may softly hear,
the dragon chatting with his friends, the dust bunny knight and Belvidere.
