Into the Dragon's Fire

Sir Lin rode upon his horse,
His trusty pig at side,
The hog was snorting happily,
Thrilled at the day's ride.

The dragon perched upon a rock
And watched the approaching threat,
Then blew a stream of fire,
As quickly as a jet.

Sir Lin raised his sword,
And yelled his battle cry!
"Charge, charge!" he shouted
And raced up the cliff,
Passing the dragon by.

Then Lin and hog and dragon
Were locked in eternal fight
And if the dragon were a lizard,
They'd still be here tonight, Oh!
